I create Event.
Then click in End Date field, but don't enter anything. Change my mind and click anywhere. Get message:

Oops!
Invalid [Date and Time] entered


This may be irrelevant, but reality is I didn't enter anything. Tried entering text, got same message. Won't hurt my feelings if you ignore this one.
Fixed.

This is kinda weird. I Add Event. Then (without setting Date), I changed Status to Active. I get green confirmation. Then seconds later I get a red Error. It does not change back to Inactive.
Cannot duplicate. Can you? What was error message?

I can't replicate either. Happened two out of three times, then no more. I'll keep an eye out for it.

However, I do not think I should be able to Activate an Event with no Date set.

Why? No date set, will not appear in Calendar.

So what does Activate mean in that context?

If an Event is active, it displays in the Calendar in the front end, and people can register etc.

When we allow Admin to Activate, they think they did something. They didn't. If we define "Active" as visible in front end, then it is not Active. Not a big deal, but I imagine others being confused when they take an action that has not result.

Not following. Add message that says when set to Active, they display in the front end via the Calendar?

In other situations when Date and Time are outside the Parent parameters, Admin gets red popup that doesn't allow and explains why. Shouldn't this be the same? No Date determined, therefore cannot Activate.

So, if they click inside a date/time box which is empty, but do not enter anything, they get red box telling them that until they enter a Start and End Date, they cannot activate the Event or Sub-Event?

Oh, I see why you're confused. You are conflating two of my above comments. Clicking on the Date field and getting error is one thing. I was not able to replicate that, so may be moot. I'll watch for it and see if it happens again.

Now we're talking about how Status button works when no Event Date range is entered. Seems to me that it should do the same thing that the Day Status button does when the Day Start/End is outside the Event Date range.

Okay, I see. I agree. Should have been. Is now. Fixed. Get error if no Start Date and/or End Date defined if they to activate.
