That won't work without a custom date picker.
The default one only supports full date specifications.
Everything else is just null.

If you try the same on the timeline there will be an error.
This is because null is a valid value in the context of the left Toolbar.

Also I am sure it stores null as soon as the green tick appears.

Thx for the quick reply.

It is a usability problem. It shouldn't have a green tick when there isn't a valid date which it can save.

I had this problem only for the removal date, as the removal date didn't have any day entered. So implementing #724 would fix most of this usability problem.

The problem is, there is no way of figuring out what the value of the input is if it is only partial.
The value displayed on the monitor (inside the native date input) is part of a "closed shadow dom" which is a browser internal.

Thx, tagged it as wontfix for now. Is #724 easy to fix?
