DateTimePicker: Unable to enter "AM" or "PM" via keyboard

1) Use this StackBlitz application: https://react-scwx3i.stackblitz.io - This is based on Telerik's own DatePicker React example.

2) Highlight the AM/PM section.

3) Try to change the AM/PM section via typing. It doesn't change. Note that other fields in the date/time picker are responsive to keyboard input.

Expectation is that the AM/PM section should respect at least "A" and "P" inputs.

Hello,

The DateInput's day-period segment already supports typing a/p to set AM/PM directly (handled in the date-part parsing logic), in addition to arrow-key cycling:
