How to change field values from normal JS scripts ?

Question

I am in a case that I need to change a field value from outside the widget (Example Browser JS Console).
I have the input id and when I change its value it is not saved on form save.
I think that the field Widget do have some events that should be called in order for the value to be registered.
To reproduce the case try just to change any form input value from the browser dev tools (inspector) and you will notice that when you save the form the value will disappear.

You are right this is sufficient, do you think is it possible to call widgets methods ? I think this can be helpful in other cases.
