Excluding the Year on a Birthday

If you have the birth date of an individual but not the year (or don't want to display the year), you can enter the birth year as "0000" which will remove the year field.  

This can be used for any "date" field - including anniversaries. 

Note: be sure not to click the pop-up calendar after typing "0000" or it will make the year "2000" instead.
