    Hi, I would like to allow a limited date range on the Date of Birth field on my form. I entered the Start and End dates but it allows me to enter any date.  

    Thanks!

    I was able to reproduce the issue in a copy of your form, however, when I deleted the field and added it back again with only the date range option, it did work:

    Try deleting the field, adding a new one and only setting the date range.  It should work as expected.

    It's still not working. Should I leave everything else at the default setting? I only want them to be able to enter dates between 4/25/11-5/1/15. Thanks!

    In my test, I left everything default and just set the range:

    Though the limit is also working with future dates removed.

    I deleted and then added a new date picker field and i can still select any date. I don't understand why it's not working?!

    Here is how it works:

    That still didn't work but I started a new form and the date field works fine there. So I deleted the date fields in my original form, cloned it, added them back, and now it works. Not sure what happened but happy it's working. Thanks for your help!

    Very odd, the field must have been bugged.  Glad you were able to get things sorted.  If the issue returns, let us know and we will take another look.

    Not working again. I will just turn off the limits.

    Very odd, each time I test it is working on my end.  Out of curiosity, could you try editing the form in a different web browser.  Either Chrome of FireFox tend to work best.  I just want to see if there might be something on your end causing the limits to bug.  I am so far unable to reproduce it on my end, other than with a copy of your form where the bug is present.
