[dragermrb]

Prerequisites

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines.
• I agree to follow the Code of Conduct.
• I have searched for existing issues that already report this problem, without success.

Ionic Framework Version

• v4.x
• v5.x
• v6.x
• Nightly

Current Behavior

ion-datetime doesn't allow to confirm current time without change any values (hours or minutes).

If you have one variable with null value assigned to ion-datetime ngModel, when you try to confirm the time, variable doesn't get updated.

Expected Behavior

Allow to select and confirm current time.

Steps to Reproduce

<ion-datetime #datetime presentation="time" [(ngModel)]="myDate">
  <ion-buttons slot="buttons">
    <ion-button color="danger" (click)="datetime.reset()">Reset</ion-button>
    <ion-button color="primary" (click)="datetime.cancel()"
      >Never mind</ion-button
    >
    <ion-button color="primary" (click)="datetime.confirm()"
      >All Set</ion-button
    >
  </ion-buttons>
</ion-datetime>

<!-- myDate = null initially -->
<p>My Date: _{{ myDate }}_</p>

Thanks for the report. This appears to be another instance of #25839, so I am going to merge the two threads. The problem here is the wheel picker does not auto-select the first item (even though it is visually selected).
