NumeralDate not receiving focus

[PhilBak]

Description

The NumeralDate component is not receiving focus after a call from setFocus (from UseForm - ReactHookForm).
Possibly connected to 'not accepting/passing the forwardRef'.

We need to support forwardRef on the component to allow the setFocus function to work. The types are somewhat dynamic so might create issues when we add the forwardRef in so we may need to do something like we used to here:
