Try a calculate field, and in the calculation put: format-date(${the_date},
'%n'); where the_date is the variable with your date input. Then add a
label to display the month

e.g

type name label calculation required appearance
date A1ii Respondent's year of birth yes no-calendar
calculate A1ai Year (calculated) format-date(${A1ii}, '%Y')
note A1aii Year is: ${A1ai}
calculate A1bi Month (calculated) format-date(${A1ii}, '%n')
note A1bii Month is: ${A1bi}

Try with this format: %b, for example format-date(${A1ii}, '%b')
