Contacts: No longer able to disregard year in birthday

Created on 30 Sep 2020  路  4Comments  路  Source: nextcloud/contacts

Describe the bug

I just updated the Contacts app. I now can no longer able to disable/hide/ignore the year in the birthday, something I'm convinced was possible before

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

  1. Go to a contact without a birthday
  2. Click on 'Add new property' and select 'Birthday'
  3. Hover the three dots, and click it
  4. See error

Expected behavior
Have a menu which allows to delete, and hide/ignore the year in this field

Actual behavior
Clicking changes the three dots into a delete button.

Yes, it was possible before. Now you can't enter a birthday without a year.

Workaround: I enter the birthday without a year on my phone and sync. Kind of embarrassing, but hey, what can you do.

Also, the three dots show on first loading a contact, but after the 'Delete' button has been shown when moving away (end hover), the trash icon and the three dots disappear. Not sure if that's intended, but either way it feels inconsistent (like something is wrong).

Those who upvoted this issue: are you actually able to set a birthday at all, now (in the browser app)? I just tried, with Contacts app version 3.4.2, and when I select a date (even including a year) via the date-picker, this date doesn't get stored. @3c7 @Luzifer @call-me-matt @tessus @csware
