Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. deathdate is stored in a vcf-file as DEATHDATE;VALUE=DATE:20190421
  2. when editing the contact in eM Client, e.g. adding a given name, the value will bes destroyed to DEATHDATE;VALUE=time:000000 ( I know this is up to em Client)
  3. back in nextcloud and editing in contacts-app the field deathdate still exists, but shown as "invalid date". Right! (EDIT: not calendar-app but contacts-app)
  4. to repair this, it is no more possible to select a date, but you must delete and recreate a new deathdate.
Expected behaviour

invalide date can be repaired by selecting a date by calendar selector

Actual behaviour

repairing is not possible

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the contacts app with a malformed DEATHDATE value such as DEATHDATE;VALUE=time:000000. Verify the existing invalid-date display and date-editing flow; done means an invalid death date can be replaced through the calendar selector without deleting and recreating the field.
