How to overwrite computed value?

[stx-chris]

Great extension! I would like to use it to suggest a date one year in the future, given a certain start date. I succeeded in formulating the template, but when I want to overwrite the computed value, it re-computes (and therefore resets) its value on each keystroke.

field: my_date (format: DD.MM.YYYY)
computed field: future_date
template: {{ CONCAT(LEFT(my_date,6),SUM(INT(RIGHT(my_date,4)),1)) }}

e.g.
my_date: 14.03.2023
future_date: 14.03.2024 (computed)
want to overwrite with 15.12.2024

but when I overwrite the computed field, it won't work. Neither does copy & paste. Is there a workaround by any chance?

@stx-chris I have created a pull request that should solve this problem. Feel free to use this package as a temporary replacement until the PR is accepted https://www.npmjs.com/package/@yakubovmax213/directus-extension-computed-interface
