Date Pickers are broken

The date picker is broken. I am presented with two fields. Start Date and End Date. I can select a date range. Fine. But if i want to modify the end date and then click on the end date picker/field - it forces me to reselect the whole range. Not very helpful. There also doesn’t seem to be a way to manually type in a date - which would probably be a solution to this. Please consider changing the operation of picking dates. All the text doesn’t even fit within the button.

Like normal applications, this field should be numerical, allowing for manual typed imput and have a similar format to other timestamp like entries. We don’t need the month name or the “at”. 11/14/2022 - 06:00PM or similar should suffice.

I agree completely. I started using Home Assistant last month and the date/time picker drives me insane. Not only do you have to reselect your entire range when you adjust one end, the lack of typing is frustrating (I just want to adjust by a single digit sometimes…) and it also loves to pick the previous month! I try to choose (e.g.) March 20-23, and it pops up February!
