[Solved] Kendo TimePicker (kendoTimePicker) doesn't accept the typed values after version 2025.4.1321

[Christos]

Kendo TimePicker (kendoTimePicker) doesn't accept the typed values after version 2025.4.1321 (which worked correctly).

When a dateInput control is enabled to assist  user when selecting the time and format is enabled, the time picker fails to accept user input the first time (while it allows it on second time). 

This stopped working after 2026.1.212 version

How to reproduce:

• https://dojo.telerik.com/ASqZpiCg
• Type a time value in control such as "13:30" and click outside to lose focus.
• The value resets to "00:00"

Hello Christos,

Thank you for reaching out about the Kendo UI TimePicker.

Upon taking a look, the behavior occurs when the jQuery version is set to 4.0.0, and is considered a bug.  As a workaround, set the jQuery version to 3.7.x as seen in this Progress Kendo UI Dojo.  For now, I have created the below bug reports where you can follow/subscribe for all updates, and provide comments within them for the developer community.

• Issue #8466 - telerik/kendo-ui-core GitHub Repo

We appreciate you reaching out reporting the issue with steps to reproduce it; and for that, I have updated your Telerik points. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
