    Unfortunately, it's not possible to get rid of the year option only. We only have a widget that will capture the year and month, but will not exclude the year only. 

    I think there are two possible ways to do this: 

    - First, use drop down fields and list the options, one drop down for months and one for days. 

    - Use a short text entry field and set a mask so the user manually types in the date, setting up the mask will help to force users to enter the date in a desired format. Here's a guide with more details about how to set a mask: https://www.jotform.com/help/381-Getting-Started-with-the-Basics-of-Input-Masking

    If you use separate Dropdowns, you will be able to manually add the options.
