    I am working on an aviation hall of fame website and would like to use the date picker field type for listing people's birth date. Some inductee birth dates are prior to 1922. It appears Meta Box only goes back 100 years. Is this something that could be fixed?

    Hi John,

    You can use the setting js_options to change the yearRange, for example

    'fields' => [
    [
        'name'       => __( 'Date', 'your-text-domain' ),
        'id'         => $prefix . 'date_9m5vr96jdte',
        'type'       => 'date',
        'js_options' => [
            'yearRange' => '1800:2022',
        ],
    ],
]

    In the builder: https://share.getcloudapp.com/E0uobjQ5

    Refer to the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/fields/date/#settings
    https://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/#option-yearRange
