Handling Date Year Parts With Text/Number Form Fields?

Hi Folks,

I'm using text/number fields to let users input year values that aren't restricted by <select> options, and I was just wondering, what's the best way to handle year parts of a date type using text/number input fields? For example, using `$this->Form->number('my_date.year')` in my add/insert view works because CakePHP parses the year/month/date subkeys from $this->request->data properly. On the other hand, this doesn't work in my edit view because the text/number field doesn't split the date parts like Form::input() and its related methods. Should I implement a workaround by manually parsing the date before passing it to the input field, or is there an internal CakePHP helper technique that can take care of year values in text/number fields?

TIA,
OJ
