DateTime doesn't allow adding Picker buttons or Clearing Value

I’m trying to utilize the DateTime component, but need a way to allow the user to “clear” the field (i.e. remove the value). The DateTime API docs mention that you can pass in the pickerOptions, but when I try to pass in an array of buttons, I see that they’re overwritten with the default Done/Cancel butttons

You can see in datetime.ts that the buttons property is overwritten during instantiation, just after it was merged with the pickerOptions that were sent in.

Is there a suggested approach for removing the value from one of these DateTime controls?

@Simpler1 The handler function was not being copied/called using our deepCopy. This change makes it so you can pass a handler function to the picker, for example:

<ion-datetime pickerFormat="YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm" [pickerOptions]="customOptions" [(ngModel)]="placeholderDate" placeholder="Select Date"></ion-datetime>

customOptions: any = {
  buttons: [{
    text: 'Save',
    handler: () => console.log('Clicked Save!')
  }, {
    text: 'Clear',
    handler: () => {
      this.placeholderDate = null;
    }
  }]
};
