Birthday is missing from the contact entry form

[JeffD088]

The new data entry forms for contacts lists Birthdate (which includes the year) but does not list Birthday (which is only month and day). I tried to create a custom field named Birthday and the system told me that the Birthday field was already defined. Can you add Birthday to the dropdown list in the contact form?

Hi @JeffD088. There is a standard Birthday field under Basic Details when you are creating a new contact that does not require a year to be entered. The custom field of Birthdate (that may have been created by you) requires a year since it is a date field. What date format are you using for birthdays? If you do not require a year, you will use Birthday.
