Setting value of date field is not sticking

[kretschmannj]

I'm trying to enter the Date of Birth on this page ... https://ccpcares.magellanrx.com/member/registration/

Using this code inside of a NightwatchJS test ...

this.api.execute(function () {
    return document.getElementById("reg_dob_val").value = "01/01/1901"
}, [], function (result) {
    console.log("result", result)
})

I can see the value is set but as soon as I click or tab out of the field the value disappears. How can I get the value to "stick"?

It's probably something to do with one of the event handlers. Have you tried setting the value with either keys or setValue?

Not sure what changed but I just tried again and it's working now.
