I'm unfortunately not that luckily with getting DHCP to work....
Here's a log output, and I simply don't understand, why the switch does not apply the setting, even though it receives an IP-address from the DHCP server....
It just reverts to old configuration....

And yes, the time is wrong, when I click apply.....

This switch is running firmware v1.3.7. I haven't had the possibility to upgrade to v1.3.8.
Does v1.3.8 solve the issue ?

I had to first configure the address as static. When it ate that, I could change to DHCP assigned....

Would be nice if you could just enter fallback IP-address and then change from static to DHCP.....

You would have to disable Revert Mode, the problem is the switch changes IP address but the UI has no idea what that new IP address will be so it can not get to it so it reverts back to the last configuration.

Solutions:
1) Disable Revert Mode under Device/Configuration by setting value to 0

2) Set Static address to what you want the DHCP to be then next select DHCP as you already figured out.
