Date question types are used when you want your patients to enter a date.
You can ask patients to enter a specific date (i.e. select the year, month, and day) or rather an estimate date (i.e select the year, or month).
📌 Note: The choice option I don't remember exactly cannot be removed from date question type.

A New Content box with all the possible question types appears.
