Describe the bug

It is not possible to have a datetime field which is empty by default.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

With any of these setups, when I create a new file with the "Create content" button the result for this field is as I'd used "default": "{{now}}".

{
  "title": "My field",
  "name": "myfield",
  "type": "datetime",
  "default": ""
}

{
  "title": "My field",
  "name": "myfield",
  "type": "datetime",
  "default": " "
}

{
  "title": "My field",
  "name": "myfield",
  "type": "datetime",
  "default": null
}

{
  "title": "My field",
  "name": "myfield",
  "type": "datetime",
  "default": false
}

Expected behavior

It is possible to have a datetime field which by default is emtpy.

Screenshots

N/A

Device:

  • OS: macOS
  • Front Matter CMS Version: v10.2.1
  • Browser: N/A

Additional context

I'm using the open-vsx extension with VSCodium.

My use case is "modification date" field. On the front end, no modification date is shown if the field is empty. When I make a significant content modification, I update the field's value.
