null dates

Hi,

In my app I have a null date to begin with and then the user can choose a date from the picker. When I use the below code I am getting the current datetime but I want it to be blank. How can I achieve this?

date={taskTime ? moment.tz(taskTime, businessTimeZone).format("DD-MMM-YYYY, h:mm A") : null}
mode="datetime"
format="DD-MMM-YYYY, h:mm A"

If I use this code I get Invalid Date being displayed which again is not what I want. date={moment.tz(taskTime, businessTimeZone).format("DD-MMM-YYYY, h:mm A")}

I also need this too.

I want the user to enter their birthdate, but by default it should be blank. Also it should be possible for the user to clear the input.
