When using my app in the browser and attempting to clear a date time picker it consistently outputs 12/30/1899 0:00:00 instead of going blank. When attempting to clear a date time picker on my or another user’s phone it doesn’t let you at all. Has anyone else encountered this?

Same here. Date and date time picker are not able to clear the field. Tested this on computer (Mac with Chrome) and iOS/iPadOS. I would expect the value to be blank/null. Instead when I tap the clear button nothing happens. Definitely a bug.

Would an increment button work here? What happens when you increment a value of 0 to a date column? I imagine the setup would be a button that says update your date time here, when you press that, a date time picker component will come up and it will only come up when the value of the cell is 0. N…

I tried incrementing by 1, not 0, with failed results…not sure!

Increment -100000000000000 (14 zeros) Sheet (Before): [snip1] Clearing: [picker] Sheet (After): [snip2]

Thanks for this, looks neat! I think it has to do with the Unix format. As Unix contains 13 numbers, the action of taking 100000000000000 units from it clear the picker. [image]
