Dropdown buttons for day, month and...

Hi,
I'm new to WFB, I notice when I built a form requiring the user to enter their (child's) date of birth, the date input option presents a monthly calendar form. First, when I tested the form, I would scroll the calendar left to get to the right year. Eventhough a child's dob could be any where between 1 - 6 yrs old (for my input form), but there is still a lot of mouse clicks to get to the right year.

I eventually realised that I could just type in the dd/mm/yyyy, instead of using the calendar window. My guess is that one can not assume that everyone would instinctively type in dd/mm/yyyy. This would put people off from filling out the form.

Is there a way to have the dd mm yyyy dropdown boxes individually? as in the attached picture?

Thanks
Nam

Hi Wooddragon,
Place 3 different drop downs on your form and format them to be dd mm yyyy.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
