Encountered the following problem on my CiviCRM and on the demo, not sure if it's a bug or just something that hasn't been included as a feature yet:

1. Created custom data group for organisation, selected allow multiple records

2. Created a custom date field with date format YYYY (I only want to record the year); created custom numeric field to record income for that year; saved

3. Entered data into the date and numeric fields on an organisation record, and it pops up a calendar asking for year, month, day.  Selected 2008 as the year, clicked a random date in that year on the calendar, saved.  When I go back into the entry the date saved is today's date, 2010.

4. Checked another custom date field on my own CiviCRM I'd made for a Relationship with YYYY date format and the same thing occurs, dates are saved as today's date, current year.

I will create a numeric field as a workaround for this case as only low-level reporting is required from these fields, but recording a year as a date would be useful in the future.

Cheers,

Hi Michal,

I already reproduced it on the demo with the same result (ie steps above apply to my site and the demo site).
