When entering a **start** date, the entered value for time is lost, when changing focus to the end date.

E.g.

Set start date to 14th Feb  
Set time time to 10:00  
Set end date to 14th Feb **(start time is lost)**

_I assume the cause of the issue, is the date picker does not allow a start datetime to be ahead of the end datetime, but entering dates in reverse order is not user intuitive._

It’s not actually the case that the time is lost. The start and end date-times are reversed if it is detected that the start is after the end.  
In other words, Fibery is trying to be clever, and failing(!)
