Please reopen this ticket.

The way the datepicker is implemented doesnt allow it to be cloned. There are numerous of clumsy workarounds on the internet like this one:

Most of them have side effects and are ugly.

So i still consider this a bug: I think the datepicker should be implemented in such a way it can be cloned without a problem.

If thats difficult because we cant do without that unique id-attribute, then we should add a datepicker("reinit") function. (datepicker("refresh") doenst seem to deal with this)

See #3803. We don't support this for any widget, and likely won't.
