DOB Autopopulated on Self Registration Form

[John Yorio]

3.7.2

At least with the Bootstrap OPAC, the self-registration form loads with the current date in the date of birth field.

There doesn't appear to be a way to turn this off.

Patrons are just skipping it because it's filled in and thus not submitting the correct birthdate info.

Ideally, whether or not to default to anything would be configurable, perhaps via Library Settings.

Continues to be an issue in 3.8+

Confirmed still an issue in Bootstrap in 3.9

A proposed patch that removes the autopopulated date and replaces it with a placeholder showing the date format is at https://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/gcollum/lp1951642-Self-registration-dob-autopopulating

I completely forgot about the library setting "Example dob field on patron registration". Here's a revised patch that removes the placeholder from my previous patch.

Does the thing. Since the patch is tiny, I've committed it directly to master, rel_3_9, and rel_3_8. Thanks, Garry!
