Tempusdominus datetimepicker and ASP.NET MVC - asp.net-mvc

Question

I try to use https://tempusdominus.github.io/bootstrap-4/ in ASP.NET MVC project.
HTML
<div class="input-group date" data-target-input="nearest">
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.TimeEnd,
new { #class = "form-control form-control-sm datetimepicker-input",
#data_toggle = "datetimepicker",
#data_target = "#TimeEnd",
type="text"
})
<div class="input-group-append" data-target="#TimeEnd" data-toggle="datetimepicker">
<div class="input-group-text"><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i></div>
</div>
</div>
Where model.TimeEnd is string in the format dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm
JS
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#TimeEnd').datetimepicker({
locale: 'es',
});
});
When I open page the input has correct value but it is not visible in the datetimepicker.
UPDATE #1
If I set defaultDate via the same model like defaultDate: '#Model.TimeEnd' (where it is string in the format dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm) then the Spanish localization is gone and I see English calendar! Wow.
And the following error appears
moment-with-locales.min.js:1 Deprecation warning: value provided is
not in a recognized RFC2822 or ISO format. moment construction falls
back to js Date(), which is not reliable across all browsers and
versions. Non RFC2822/ISO date formats are discouraged and will be
removed in an upcoming major release. Please refer to

Any clue how to fix this issue?

Answer 1

It seems the probelm was around messing up the input and wraping div ids.
HTML
<div class="form-group row">
#Html.Label("Finish", new { #class = "col-sm-2 col-form-label", #for = "TimeStart2" })
<div class="col-sm-10">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="input-group date" id="datetimepicker1" data-target-input="nearest">
<input id="TimeEnd" name="TimeEnd" value="#Model.TimeEnd" type="text" class="form-control form-control-sm datetimepicker-input" data-target="#datetimepicker1" />
<div class="input-group-append" data-target="#datetimepicker1" data-toggle="datetimepicker">
<div class="input-group-text"><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
JS
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker({
locale: 'es'
});
});
