Question: Copy one flatpickr input field to another

[chrisgrande]

What would be the best way, that when one input field changes it updates another input field with the the same Date/Time values? This would be a one way copy — where the other field can then be changed independently.

I tried create a mimic stimulus controller that would copy the value on input, however this doesn't work — and I'm also using the altInput so there are other DOM elements in the input tag to facilitate the formatted date.

For anyone that stumbles on this in the future, you can leverage the ._flatpickr object on an element to access the flatpickr instance & copy the value using ._flatpickr.setDate.

Note: This does respect the altInput as well.
