You can just set the date to null and call the setState method. Since this is not an issue, I will now close it.

@JandalZaheer @GaspardMerten I added a "clear" button to the input decoration of the form field. To actually clear the date, you need to get a hold of the FormFieldState and call didChange(newValue) on it. For example:

  final _formFieldStateKey = GlobalKey<FormFieldState>();
  DateTime? myValue;

  //...

    DateTimeFormField(
          key: _formFieldStateKey,
          decoration: InputDecoration(
            suffixIcon: myValue == null
                ? Icon(Icons.event_outlined)
                : IconButton(
                    icon: const Icon(Icons.clear_outlined),
                    onPressed: () {
                      _formFieldStateKey.currentState!.didChange(null);
                     setState(() => myValue = null);
                    }),
          ),
          mode: _dateTimeModes[uiValueType]!,
          initialValue: widget.comparison.uiValue,
          onDateSelected: (value) {
            setState(() => myValue = value);
          },
          // ...
        );
