It should not be possible to start typing into the standard datepicker, as it is impossible to acually type a date. This generates support and bad user experience.
I have made an ugly workaround with a container with a higher z value on top to prevent users from trying to type in that field forcing them to click the calendar icon instead, but it is of course not ideal.
Expected behavior; either open up the datepicker on all clicks inside the date container OR allow entering/deleting a date into the field.
Any other ideas for workarounds appreciated.

When using the Textinput (Date) date picker with time & date, I get milliseconds shown in the window. This is not something I want to show to the users. Is there any way of getting rid of that? Ideally it should be more configureable (lets say I only want to show hours and minutes)
If i split into Date and Time in two fields, I cant set the date properly as you can with the regular datepicker as the Time only field will reset the date to todays date.
If i set the time component first then the date it almost works because the datepicker now uses correct time, but when setting the date, the time component will show – : – so it looks like it was reset.
Generally I think Appfarm should improve the standard datepicker as it the options today are not very user friendly and it requires manual adjustments to make it work in a user friendly way. I also miss the possibility of defining every 5 minute or every 15 minute. It would be great if Appfarm could provide a coded component that is configureable or a new datepicker that resolves these issues.
