Allow only some inputs on `datatype: BirthDate`

I am working on an abuse prevention order in VT. Sometimes the plaintiff will not know all parts of the defendant's birthday but may know the month, day, or year. Is it possible to add the option to set the required: False like this?
I'm not sure how well we'd be able to communicate that not every part of the birthdate is required vs when every part is; I don't think we want to start putting red asterisks on each individual input.
IMO, your best option would be to have them as 3 separate fields; a month selection, a day number input between 1 and 31, and a year input, and specifically say in the subquestion that they only have to enter what they know.
Gonna transfer this to ALToolbox, where that code is.
Check on how we did this in the 209A for Massachusetts (and also UpToCode). Agree with Bryce's idea of separate fields. I think we did it nicely in the 209A while keeping it easy for the litigant--open text box is the fallback instead of partial date.
It seems like this was fixed upstream with separate fields. I don't think that's something that the Toolbox should take on, so I'm going to close this issue as won't fix
