        if (!isset($yearmin) || $yearmin < 1900 || $yearmin > 2187) {
            $yearmin = 1900;
        }

Any idea why years before 1900 or not allowed?
I mean, it is not default, but forbdding here.
Technical reason?

Why is this applying for dropdowns but not for date picker?

I think this is related to 09476.
Still, the bug may not be solved. If I select year 2012 and there is a 2 digit year, how should that be considered?

I just think sometime, the format of 2 digits for year shall not be used instead of restrtcing the years.

Thoughts?

PS: This happens on master as well

Chat with carsten:
Condition should be adjusted to allow lower and upper values.
Then lot of testing

LTS: https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/pull/2628

It's not related to datepicker ?

Since we update it, maybe it work now ?

Maybe need a test process here ?
What date must be tested ?

Can we have year between 0 and 100 ?
Can we have year before 0 ?

What is the date of murder of Julius Caesar
(year between -200 and 100 for example)

It's not related to datepicker ?

Why would it be? This is when using dropdown

Argl Sorry :)

After testing and finding some stuff still didn't work with years like 2100, got to this.

I think we should test 08684 is OK before pushing this.

Tested it OK.
Although I believe more testing/reviewing could be usefull, as we are removing code which was there for very long time.

We need to have a «What must be tested» list maybe ?

Fix committed to 3.x-LTS branch: http://bugs.limesurvey.org/plugin.php?page=Source/view&id=34013

Fixed in Release 3.28.37+221108

Reopening it as to keep on discussing and also apply it to master

Taking into account the LTS merge was done quite some time ago (https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/pull/2628), should we prepare the master fix?

Should we port to master?

Sounds like a good idea. :)

Master: https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/pull/3353

I created new survey on your branch @gabrieljenik, but I am still seeing the same - I can't choose date before 1900.

Fixed. Nice catch
