When users have to point their date of birth, it’s usually hard for them to scroll data control to appropriate year. But it’s must be an option

Hi @Oleg_Baranov

for a field to be able to enter a date manually, the Short Text field is suitable, or you can use 3 dropdown fields. Each for day, month and year. When it comes to year, a lot of options have to be specified.

Good note, thank you @Sina :+1:

Hi @Oleg_Baranov!

As Sina suggested, you can either use a Short Text field or create 3 dropdown field (day, month, year) to input the date manually.

Try it out and let us know if it worked :slightly_smiling_face:

I have 2 forms with 5 date controls for date of birst in each. So I will need to enter too many years… Also I use google table for read results - It will be 15 fields instead of 5 dates for every form ((
