I have tried multiple answers already, and none of them work. Here's what I've tried :

element.value = '0'
element.dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent('keydown', { key: '0' }))
element.dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent('keypress', { key: '0' }))
Each of those followed by a call to dispatchEvent(new Event('input', { buubles: true, cancelable: true }));

What else can I try ? Some do update the field, but the content gets deleted immediately after.

It depends on what the code is listening for. – epascarello Jun 21 '23 at 20:14

The important questions, are what is your end goal? What are you trying to accomplish? – imvain2 Jun 21 '23 at 20:15
