When choosing the calendar field type, it has various format options but they all include the day. I would like to have an option to just include month and year.


Use cases:




  1. In an employee directory, I’d like to have when they started with the company but most people don’t know date.




  2. Indicating when a client joined us or when their renewal month is.



You could set the day to 01, and ignore the day part when you’re looking at the data.


Alternatively use a single line text, e.g. 2016-10 will display and sort nicely.


Did you ever find out a way to solve this? I would like to achieve the same thing. And would still like it to show it as a real date, so I can filter it as such.

Thank you.

I’m sorry, I never did figure out a way.


I also would like to see this feature added soon. A date field where the format is only month and year.


Bumping this up, partial dates, or date-ranges even would be a killer feature.


Hello,


this seems to be an orphaned user request?


@airtable: Any comments on this?


I guess that it would be very simple to implement. And to recommend a text field is not on equal footing with the airtable claim.


Warmly,

Peter

I too did not find any simple option without using a formula field; however, you can try one very simple solution just create Single Select Field and enter the range of months as options if your range is limited.

+1 on this feature. Probably add variations.


Day Month Year ( ✔ )

Month Year

Year


Also a up vote from me for a feature like [K_C_Wolff-Ingham] suggested.


Earth to Airtable? Is there any hope for the feature described above? I’m writing a memoir and organizing events from the 90s! I don’t remember the exact day I memorized Ice Ice Baby with the other girls on the playground!


@Airtable_IT any guidance on this?
