Can you manually edit the date (without using the picker popup)?

Cool that you're using BSD! Is this for university?

If I try to write it manually it will be replaced with today's date.

We are a public institute founded in 1419. When it's possible I prefer FreeBSD over Debian,because it's a bit faster especially with Tomcat

A work-around is to not use datetime question type, but short-text, and then validate the format of that text to be a date.

Dorin: It happens if the date selector is different than default. there is a question attribute that allows to change the date selector. If that one is selected, you can't go below 1900

Not a bug. You have to set a minimum date.
Have a look at https://manual.limesurvey.org/Question_type_-_Date#Minimum_date_.28date_min.29

Thanks, you solved my problem! But this behaviour is a bit counterintuitive.
If you like, you can have a look at statistics calculated directly from this survey table: https://superset.istitutodegliinnocenti.it/superset/dashboard/signum/?standalone=true
