Description

This follows a discussion in dev ML https://markmail.org/message/rcvcggya3bqs2a53. Here is an extract:

I was looking at OFBIZ-6734 and specifically the comment I made there about mask feature for date-time fields.

The masked input for date-time fields does not work as it should (compare behaviour of the 1st field of https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/example/control/FormWidgetExamples and https://igorescobar.github.io/jQuery-Mask-Plugin/)
I think there is a conflict between the calendar which is used by default with date-time fields and the masked input feature. So masked input feature is ignored and adds nothing to date-time fields which is confusing.

Note this fearure was introduced by http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1081333
