            id=&quot;dateTimeFrom&quot;                                        
            type=&quot;date&quot;
            variant=&quot;standard&quot;
            defaultValue={new Date()}
            onChange={filterDateFrom}                                            
            label=&quot;Start Execution *&quot; color=&quot;primary&quot;
            InputLabelProps={{
             shrink: true                                              
             }}
            /&gt;
