Birthday Element - Can it show month/year only as a format?

[nrsmoll]

I would like to have a birthday element (well, effectively a date element) that only displays Month / Year:
i.e. Jan 2001, or 01/2007. Effectively, I am currently working around this just putting the first of the month as the "onset date" (onset of a patient's pain complaint).

Currently, if I omit the day in the birthday element, it doesn't store/display in the list format.

Am I missing something? If not, maybe could this be a feature suggestion for the future?

Thanks!

Are you using a 'date' or a 'birthday' element type?

I've been using the birthday element type.
Tried it again yesterday. I cannot seem to save part of a birthdate, i.e. January 2007
