Hi.  
I need to input date of birth without having to swype the months of the calendar until the required month.  
I need to set a question about date that interviewer can input just writing the numbers  
Is it possible?  
Thanks

Try the `no-calendar` appearance. [https://docs.getodk.org/form-question-types/#date-widget-with-spinner-input](https://docs.getodk.org/form-question-types/#date-widget-with-spinner-input) has more.
