Would it be possible to put in a request for the **\<**** DateInput\>** component to enable selection by year?

I’m building a Contacts UI extension that requires the user to select a date of birth as part of a separate workflow, but currently the only option using the **\<DateInput\>** component is to click back through the months.  
If the birthdate is in 1975 for example, thats nearly 600 clicks!  
Many thanks.

Hey, @SimonTSan 👋 Welcome to our community. I’d suggest making a post in the [Ideas forum](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/idb-p/HubSpot_Ideas). While this is our best bet for getting your suggestion in front of other users and the product team, it is not a “fast” process. I agree, this would be a great quality of life addition.

Best,

jaycee
