If a create date field with Types, the input field in the post edit screen displays a jQuery UI calendar when I click it to allow date entry. This calendar however does not allow the selection of year. It only show previous and next arrows to browse through months.
Imagine I am using a date field to enter a date of birth at 1960. When I click the calendar icon, it will be on 2013 by default. Just how many times will I need to click the "previous" arrow until I reach the year 1960? This is not practical at all.
The calendar icon also needs to make the mouse cursor turn into a pointer (hand) when hovering over it to indicate that it is clickable. Some people think it is just an icon that they can't click when they mouse over it, and they think they will need to enter the date manually in the text field.
I just noticed that when adding date fields to a CRED form, the field input in the frontend DOES allow year selection. Why the inconsistency?
