Not possible to type in a birth date

[stepkun]

Describe the bug

When I enter a date before 1.1.1970 for the birth date it is not accepted but changed to the current date.

Steps to reproduce

I hope my translations to English are correct:

1. Go to 'contacts' app
2. Click on 'new contact'
3. Fill in mandatory fields
4. Click on 'additional Information'
5. Select 'Birthday'
6. Enter a date before 1.1.1970
7. Save contact
8. Have a look at contacts field 'Birthday'

If you add a contact with a birthday before 1.1.1970 via Gnomes contacts app and sync, the contact is shown in Nextclouds 'contacts' app with the correct birthdate, but the birthday does not show up in the 'calendar' app.

Expected behavior

Birtdate before 1.1.1970 should be accepted

Actual behavior

Birtdate before 1.1.1970 is not accepted, but automatically changed to today

Contact version

8.3.6

Operating system

Firefox on bazzite

PHP engine version

None

Web server

None

Database

None

Additional info

My nextcloud instance is a managed instance by hetzner

Version: Nextcloud Hub 25 autumn

It seems, that manually entering a date into the birth date field does not work properly at all.
Using the picker seems to work, but that is cumbersome if the contact is an elderly person.

Hey! Thanks for the report!

Yes I was able to reproduce this with all dates and this should be fixed. If you feel like making a PR for this we are here to help you.

Could you please maybe change the title to not concern 1970 but the fact that you can't type the date in? Thanks!

Hey,

I changed the title.
Creating a PR is beyond my current skills regarding NextCloud, I just started to use it.
I found this behaviour of the date picker also in the administration UI. Maybe it is a general problem of the used date picker widget?
