Is there a way to add a field like "Anniversary" to a Google contact without specifying the year? If I try to save while leaving the year blank, I get an error message:

"Please enter a month, day and year for dates."

    Not sure how you're coming up with this problem. Been testing and works fine without the year. Feb 21, 2011 at 5:16
  • I just tried it and it works for me too.

  • I encounter the problem mentioned in the standalone contacts manager at google.com/contacts. If I try typing a date without the year in the integrated contact manager (with gmail), I get a little warning icon saying "We don't recognize this date".

  • To clarify, I want it to be added as a "date", like birthday, so that it shows up under Google Calendar as well. Not as a custom field.

  • This occurs to me with Chrome (aah! the irony), but not with Firefox.

It looks like it's not possible in the newer version of Google Contacts, while in the old one you could, but without be able to changing the type of the event:

data without year in google contacts

In the newer version you're getting this error no matter how hard you try all the different formats of a date without a year: Sorry, we don't recognize this date.

Just write month date for example you can see on image below. I open that date to my Google Calendar, it's worked so well.

add birthday to Google Calendar
