Why doesn't Date Picker in Selenium (using JavaScript for Spice Jet application) take attribute value?

I am using JavaScript for the Date picker in Selenium. My code runs successfully but the date is not selected in the date picker.

    public class SpicJetBooking {
    static WebDriver driver;
    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Downloads\\chromedriver.exe");
        driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
        driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(10));
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(10));

        driver.get("https://www.spicejet.com/");
        System.out.println("Site Opened");
        Thread.sleep(3000);
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(text(),'round trip')]")).click();
//        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@data-testid='return-date-dropdown-label-test-id']")).sendKeys("Wed, 23 Mar 2022");
//        WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(text(),'Return Date')]"));
        WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@data-testid='return-date-dropdown-label-test-id']"));
//        element.click();
        String datVal = "Wed, 23 Mar 2022";
        selectDateByJS(driver, element, datVal);
        System.out.println("Complete Execution");
    }
    public static void selectDateByJS(WebDriver driver,WebElement element, String datVal){
        JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
        js.executeScript("argument[0].setAttribute('value','"+datVal+"');", element);
//        String scriptVal = "arguments[0].setAttribute('value','\"+datVal+\"')";
//        String scriptVal = "arguments[0].setAttribute('value','12-Mar-2022')";
//        js.executeScript(scriptVal, element);
        System.out.println("JS Executed");
    }
}

I did refer to Selecting calendar date from JavaScriptExecutor in selenium, but in my opinion, the date picker has got changed and this is not working now

Highlight is the HTML DOM structure of Departure

I tried:

$x("(//div[text()='Return Date'])/following-sibling::div/child::div")[0].innerText = 'Wed, 23 Mar 2023'

and it's working fine for me. So you need to use:

(//div[text()='Return Date'])/following-sibling::div/child::div** xpath as a locator and update your **selectDateByJS

method line where you are perform js

js.executeScript("argument[0].innerText="+datVal, element);

Complete Code:

public class SpicJetBooking {
static WebDriver driver;
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

    ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
    options.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Downloads\\chromedriver.exe");
    driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
    driver.manage().window().maximize();
    driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
    driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(10));
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(10));

    driver.get("https://www.spicejet.com/");
    System.out.println("Site Opened");
    Thread.sleep(3000);
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(text(),'round trip')]")).click();
    WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//div[text()='Return Date'])/following-sibling::div/child::div"));
    String datVal = "Wed, 23 Mar 2022";
    selectDateByJS(driver, element, datVal);
    System.out.println("Complete Execution");
}
public static void selectDateByJS(WebDriver driver,WebElement element, String datVal){
    JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
    js.executeScript("argument[0].innerText="+datVal, element);
    System.out.println("JS Executed");
}
