I’d like to find a way to stop clients from incorrectly leaving the default year (2024) when completing a form with their DOB. We use a date picker property. I could have a certain range of years only but I fear they would still leave whatever default year and not add the correct one. At least with 2024, I can catch those and fix them. ---

Hi @DavidVillalona , Unfortunately I don’t see any such settings or way around to do this. Though there is an [idea](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Custom-date-range-control-for-date-picker-property-on-form/idi-p/17232) submitted to have an option to limit or customize the date range. If this happens, then I think it might solve the issue for you. You can upvote this idea. For as of now, I guess you can adddescription to the form field with a help text that prompts users to select the correct year. like, “Please select your correct year of birth." Hope this helps! Thank You
