Hi in v1, on inline editing you can clear out the field just by deleting the date

in v2 it will clear out when you delete the date, but date-time fields don’t.

<skuid__page unsavedchangeswarning="yes" personalizationmode="server" showsidebar="false" showheader="false">
	<models>
		<model id="NewModel" limit="20" query="true" datasource="Ui-Only" createrowifnonefound="true">
			<fields>
				<field id="NewField" displaytype="DATETIME" length="255" ogdisplaytype="TEXT"/>
			</fields>
			<conditions/>
			<actions/>
		</model>

Hi Dave, thanks for reporting this one and for the page XML. I’ve logged it with the product team. We’ll let you know when the issue is resolved.

The workaround for now is to use a button or a button-field that uses the “update field” action to update the date-time field to “null”.

Do your users commonly need to clear out the value of date-time fields?

yes, in some processes it’s very common for us to have to do so
