Bootstrap datetimepicker don't work with readonly or disabled
If your are still looking for a solution take a look at the snippet. This is exactly what i suggested in the comment, you just have to call datetimepicker with
ignoreReadonly: true
That's it.
$(function () {
$('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker({
ignoreReadonly: true
});
});.container {
margin-top: 80px;
