Hi everyone,
I’m running SuiteCRM 8.8.0 (clean install, PHP 8.3, MySQL 8, Apache on Ubuntu 22.04). After adding the built-in Birthdate field to the Create Contact form I noticed one issue, the year drop-down only shows about ±10 years around the current year.
Example: with today in 2025, I can’t pick any year earlier than 2015.
Questions
- Is there a supported way (configuration, metadata, small customization, etc.) to widen the year range—e.g. 1900 through the current year—without breaking future upgrades?
- Is there something in 8.8.0 that hard-limits the year list for the Date/Birthdate field?
Any pointers or experiences would be greatly appreciated—thanks!
