Comment (by sanayasir):

 I tested this issue on WordPress Playground 7.1 Alpha.

 Previously, the General Settings page allowed saving the settings even
 when the custom Date Format and Time Format fields were left empty/null.

 After testing the fix, the behavior now works as expected according to the
 ticket requirements:

 When the custom date/time format fields are cleared, the settings are no
 longer saved.
 A validation error message is displayed: “Please configure a valid date
 and time format.”
 The issue appears to be fixed successfully.
