Also, if you try to change the column type from Date and Time to Timestamp, after saving it displays the message "There are no changes to save".

Apache
PHP Version 7.4.1
MySQL 5.7.26

@igor-tv The TIMESTAMP column type in MySQL is basically an alias of DATETIME. If you want to store UNIX timestamps, you should generally use an INT column.
