Earliest Marriage date limited to 1980
January 16, 2010, 05:38:24 am
When trying to enter information about myself, the system does not allow a marriage date before Jan 1, 1980. For my purposes, it should go back 110 years at least. However, I'd think it reasonable to allow dates back at least 1000 years.

Marriage Date is an "example" of a custom field. Date range limits are configurable for custom date fields:

Thanks.

Since it IS an example field, I suggest that for the release, the "pre" (or post) field could be changed to say this. It would help when learning the system. It could say "Date of Marriage. This is an example of a custom field. You can change the allowed date range, for example, by going to "Administration" menu, then "Custom Data", under "Constituent Information".

BTW, the link you provided just said "Access denied" when I clicked on it. For anyone else reading this in the future, one needs to first log into that demo site before the link will work. User name "demo", password "demo".
