Hi,

  we have a feature request as per description, value isn't changed when manually entering numbers in the field, it only changes when selecting a presented date. When manually entering date, value remains null so reset is actually changing null to null, not the entered value to null. Your colleague mentioned that the feature of exposing mask to be controlled would make it possible to clear the mask.
Please refer to this github issue for more detailed information, containing stackblitz example and gifs of an user case, as it was an ongoing discussion.
Please implement an option to properly reset partially entered dates.
