### Description The current UI for selecting backfill dates could use some UX improvements to make the feature more intuitive and user-friendly. A few specific issues I encountered: - All fields (start and end dates/times) must be populated manually before the "Backfill" button becomes actionable. This wasn’t obvious at first and felt like something was broken. - There is no default time value populated when a date is selected, which adds extra steps and confusion. - The calendar modal allows date selection but doesn’t provide a way to select a time from the same UI, requiring additional manual input. <img width="883" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fafb31ad-b3b7-42cb-a739-8c0708b81a9d"; /> <img width="895" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/caafb34f-74a1-4fb6-8159-12d3ff37f447"; /> ### Use case/motivation Initially, I thought I was misusing the backfill feature because the UI feedback and interaction patterns were unintuitive. Suggested Improvements: - Populate default times (e.g., midnight or current time) when a date is selected. - Make the calendar modal include time selection or provide a more seamless way to input it. - Consider making the "Backfill" button state more clearly tied to missing required fields, with inline hints or validations. - Possibly allow single-date backfills without requiring both start and end to be filled if appropriate ### Related issues _No response_ ### Are you willing to submit a PR? - [ ] Yes I am willing to submit a PR! ### Code of Conduct - [x] I agree to follow this project's [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
