>>>Yes, it's the same directive as AngularJs has some rules and when we use Camel case for myDirective it becomes my-directive when it's used. When you add data prefix (to avoid JavaScript warnings in VS), it becomes data-my:directive.
>>>
>>>But you didn't answer my question. I suppose the only way is to introduce readonly flag in the directive properties.

>>Where do you have a "TimePicker" directive. I see a "DateTimePicker"

>If that, then it's from the macadmin theme we have, I think, but I can make a quick research on this. It's not too relevant to the question, though, I think.

I simply mean that your directive is named 'smDateTimePicker' and the element is 'data-sm:-time-picker'
Don't see how you expect those to wire up.....
