Setting a year date range allows you to define the date range and parameters which can be selected by the user using the date picker. The following validation can be set:-

Valid Date
Date between
Days from now
Months from now
Years from now

Setting the date range

In this example, the date picker will be configured to display years for up to 100 years past.

Go to Administration > Forms

Select the date item which you want to set.

Go to the validation region.

Select Years from now.

Provide a Minimum and Maximum Value. So Minimum is the value before today’s date, so to display Years up to 100 years before, set this to 100. The maximum value is the value after today’s date so it will display the years in the future.

This also applies to the validation Types

Days from now
Months from now
Years from now
