Calendar component in DataTable PrimeReact 10.x: Date selection sets value to null, Clear button works as expected

[darioEscuderop]

Describe the bug

There is an issue with the Calendar component in PrimeReact version 10.x. When selecting a date by clicking on it, the value of the calendar remains null, and the date is not set in the input field. This behavior occurs despite the "Clear" button working as expected, correctly clearing the value and triggering focus lose.

In version 9.5.0, this issue does not occur, and both the "Clear" button and date selection work as expected. However, in version 10.x, selecting a date via click results in a null value.

In 9.5.0 after clicking the "Clear" button in the calendar, the focus remains on the input field, which allows the user to click "Clear" multiple times without closing the calendar or losing focus. But this is less important than what happend in 10.X version.

@darioEscuderop

is the implementation you are expecting similar to the example shown in the video below?
If the intended implementation matches the video, I will modify the BodyCell component and submit a PR for review. :)

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m expecting. Additionally, as indicated in my code, I’d like it to always save a fixed time—specifically, 12:00 in this case. I’m not sure if that would be an issue as well. The video looks great!

Thank you!
