[Catalog] New date feature problem
The date feature released on 4/15/24 is unusable unless you are using it for a date in the current year. Catalog Release Notes (2024-04-15) Note in the release link above the example used is 'Birthdate'.
If you enable this feature and then attempt to enter a birthdate you can select the day and switch months easily enough on the popup calendar, but there is nowhere to change the year. What's worse, if you select a date and try to change the year in the text box, you'll only get the first two numbers entered before the formatting breaks. The only way to then enter in a correct date is to clear the text box completely and then type in the birthdate. This will only confuse and frustrate students. I wouldn't use this 'feature' at all if I didn't need to collect birthdates.
Prior to this feature rollout we had a birthdate requirement via text input which worked well enough. That appears to be broken as ~30% of new accounts created in the last few weeks do not have anything listed in the Birthdate field, even though it is a required field. Considering Canvas Catalog used 'Birthdate' as the example when rolling out this feature, they had to know it was broken on arrival. Please fix this issue.
Add the ability to quickly change the year on date input within the calendar popup.
