Hello Jeroen,

Thank you for reporting this and for providing the details.

After reviewing the case, we determined that the described approach is not supported. Firing the change event twice is expected with this setup, so this is not a bug in the DateTimePicker.

As explained in the DateTimePicker's Validation help article, the DateTimePicker is designed to keep its input value unchanged even when the typed date is invalid.

To validate the input value of the DateTimePicker, use a client-validation framework such as the Kendo UI Validator for jQuery. With the Validator, you can show end users an error message that tells them what to correct. For a working example, see the online demo on custom validation.

For these reasons, we are closing this report as "Declined". If you have any further questions or run into a different scenario, please open a new thread or support ticket and we will be glad to help.

Regards,
Neli
