#SAIL. Is there a way to display three dropdowns (day, month and year) for a!dateField() ? a!dateField() displays calendar on SAIL forms and is defaulted to current month and year. But when it is used for Date Of Birth, user have to click many times to get their year of birth and then the month of birth. I know that the user can key in the DOB in dd/mm/yyyy format but some users are not aware and therefore end up clicking many times !!!

I am not aware of any way to do this using the a!dateField() component itself. However, you could configure multiple dropdowns where the user selects their birth month, day, and year as text; you can then convert this to a date using the todate() function on form submit or whenever it is appropriate. todate() accepts input in a "mm/dd/yyyy" format similar to manually entering a date in an a!dateField() component.
