A lot of my use cases imply I come there having a "date time" pair already copied in the clipboard (and, more sadly, mostly in a yyyy.MM.dd HH:mm:ss like format).
Then in pure Total Commander it becomes a pain.
I have to paste data twice (into each field), to remove excessive parts in each field, and to correct the date sequence if needed.
Or maybe I just don't know how to do it properly, and a somewhat trick exists for that?
Video illustration of how it goes in that scenario:

Luckily, I have AkelPad text editor, that has Clipboard::PasteSerial plugin/function which is activated by Ctrl+F10 global hotkeys and allows insertion of a pre-copied text into other application fields replacing delimiter(s) with tabulation(s).
I also made a script for AkelPad to quickly switch dates between yyyy.MM.dd and dd.MM.yyyy formats.
In that case, life becomes a bit easier:
I come to Total Commander Change attributes - Change date/time windows, select Date field contents, hit Ctrl+F10 combination. And, voila, the date/time are there (however, I still need to prepare dd.MM.yyyy date).
Video illustration of how it goes in scenario 2:

Proposition/question(s):
1. Why not to have there something like that as a native Total Commander feature?
A dedicated hotkey, a special paste button, a switch to temporarily unify date and time fields, a button to invoke a unified field, or anything of that kind?
2. An option for Total Commander to recognize there both yyyy.MM.dd and dd.MM.yyyy dates at the same time?
Thank you very much.
