# WordPress Dashboard Form (Please enter numeric data)

 * In Users -> All users -> Edit User
 * We have a field called ‘Hire Date’ which should receive a date string in the 
   format m/d/Y
 * For some reason when you try to enter a date (for example) 2/4/2022 it throws
   an error: (Please enter numeric data)
 * We have our general settings set correctly so it looks to be a form problem, 
   is there a way to edit this or remove validation?
 * I attached the actual element below:
 * `<input type="text" id="your-profile_wpcfhire-date" name="wpcf[hire-date]" value
   ="2021-03-25" data-wpt-validate="{&quot;number&quot;:{&quot;args&quot;:{&quot;
   1&quot;:true},&quot;message&quot;:&quot;Please enter numeric data.&quot;}}" data-
   wpt-field-title="wpcf[hire-date]" data-parsley-type="number" data-parsley-error-
   message="Please enter numeric data." class="wpt-form-textfield form-textfield
   textfield js-wpt-validate" data-wpt-type="textfield" data-wpt-id="wpcf-hire-date"
   data-wpt-name="wpcf[hire-date]">`
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwordpress-dashboard-form-please-enter-numeric-data%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hire date is not a standard default WP user profile field, it has been added 
   via a plugin or your theme. I recommend asking for help in the dedicated support
   channel of whichever module is responsible for the added field.
