I'm never sure whether to enter the original publication date or the date of the edition I own. The original date is usually 'more interesting'.
My Penguin copy of Christine de Pizan's Book of the City of Ladies was published in 2000 to which my mind says... 'so what.' But the original was published in 1405, to which my mind says... 'really...! Fancy that Hedda' :lol:
My suggestion is not to use a calendar gadget - allow for 3 part field YYYY (allow 0000-this (next ?) year) MM (allow 00-12) DD (allow 00-31)
Maybe if Year is 0000 then MM is forced to 00, if MM is 00 then DD is forced to 00.
Display zero as blank
