Custom date columns do have formats of your choosing. Once you set a format you enter dates in that format. If parts of the date aren't included in the format then they aren't required to be entered.

For example, see the attached screen capture of a date custom column. It asks for year and month in yyyy/mm format. When I click on a cell, I enter exactly that.

However, there is no way to have a fully-populated date field where you can pick and choose what you enter on a case-by-case basis.
