Ensure `allowInput` properly syncs manual edits in date/time fields

[Paul-Bob]

🛠️ Fix

field :event_time, as: :date_time, picker_options: { "allowInput": true }

field :event_date, as: :date, picker_options: { "allowInput": true }

Currently, when allowInput is set to true, manually editing or pasting a value into the input field does not update the corresponding hidden "real" date/time input.

This issue aims to ensure that any manual input, whether typed or pasted, triggers a proper change event and syncs the visible field with the actual input behind the scenes.

See the Loom linked below for a full walkthrough of the issue.

🧪 Current Workarounds

Instruct users to press Enter after editing the input to manually trigger the sync. Obviously not ideal. 😤
