Sincere thanks for your help and tips.

Well, the other day I needed to do the same and I missed this possibility as well.
I have gui_pubdate_display_format = 'MMMM yyyy' on Tweaks.
So, for example, to set 'September 2013' I tried typing 09 then 2013, and I was kind of surprised this didn't work. Maybe something changed across Qt updates? Or it could be that I haven't needed to add dates manually for a long time since I changed my format display for pubdate.
The fastest I can do is:
- click dropdown
- click the Year in the calendar widget, then type 2013.
- click the month, select September then click on a random day. This action will close the widget and set the field.
As for the date column, I use it often to sort the book list, but I have a bunch of other date columns like Last Action (populated by the
Last Modified plugin)
