Using custom JS to set a date is not working as expected

[RichardWoj]

Describe the problem I need to set an "issuance date" to today's date as soon as the user has filled an amount field for an invoice. I do so with a javascript: const issuanceDateInput = container.querySelector('.issuance-date-input input[type="text"]'); amountInput.addEventListener('change', () => { if (amountInput.value !== "") { issuanceDateInput.value = formatDate(new Date()); issuanceDateHiddenInput.value = formatDate(new Date());

The calculated value is displayed on the browser but the value is not in the post message sent to the server Do I have to trigger some event?

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to '...'
2. Click on '....'
3. Scroll down to '....'
4. See error

Expected behavior I am expecting the value displayed by the browser to be part of the post message sent to the server
