Hello all! My retail store would like to start a Birthday Club as a customer reward program, and I would like to collect birthday dates in a Form but not collect year (just have month and day). Is there any way to remove the year from the date options? Thanks!
Hi Bonnie,
Since you don’t need to collect the birth year, using the date field is not necessary. Instead, you can use a number field and set the range for the minimum and maximum input numbers. For the month, you can set the range from 1 to 12, and for the day, you can set the range from 1 to 31.
Then drag the date field beside the month so it’ll take one row like the following screenshot.
Now user can submit the form and it’ll also validate. There has another way to use a single field and get both Month and Date but after using Input mask, you won’t be able to set the min and max range which will allow a user to input 14 as month and 99 as date which is invalid. Thank you
Thanks for this help, but a detail I should have added before is that I am using the integration with MailChimp and their Birthday field is unique and includes just Month and Day, another consideration. If I break the entry into 2 fields I won’t be able to integrate it with MailChimp’s Birthday Field, from what I can tell. I can redesign the Birthday information in MailChimp as a last resort but I’m hoping not to do that.
Any thoughts?
Hi Bonnie,
You can use the Single Line Text field and Input Mask to obtain the birthday date without the year. After adding the field, navigate to General Settings → Input Mask and choose the Custom option. Insert 99/99 to receive only numeric input from the user, like 12/30.
This way, you can utilize a single field to collect the date and integrate it with MailChimp. There is one issue, though; a user might input an invalid date, such as 70/71.
For a visual guide, please refer to the following screen recording: 
Super helpful, thank you!
