Expected behavior The value of the input should populate in the calendar for date and time
Actual behavior The value of the associated input doesn't populate in the calendar for date and time which makes this control unusable.
Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.) The examples show this issue already https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/standard/forms/datetimepicker/

Here is a snippet that shows the problem. Click the calendar and the initial value is not displayed on the calendar.

Datepicker works fine, but DateTimepicker does not.

I think datetimepicker should behave like datepicker itself, so I'll add a task for this.

You could use datepicker's
startDateoption equal to input's value to change the default date to which datepicker will navigate.https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/standard/mlazaru/5117111#js-tab-view

Should this not be considered a defect? When will it be fixed? It used to work as expected.
