I'm on Ignition **8.1.31** and I'm experiencing the following issue on a _DateTimeInput_: if you set `pickerType` to `time` and you try to assign a datetime before `2014-09-16 10:00 AM` to the `value` property, you cannot - the time portion of your datetime will reverse to the current time.

In my understanding if you set the datepicker to time you can only choose time and not date.

I wonder if this is related to the issue I discovered recently: [[Bug] DateTimeInput maximum time ignoring hour w/regard to minute](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/bug-datetimeinput-maximum-time-ignoring-hour-w-regard-to-minute/94066)
