Yes but I am using it as a field for DOB, therefore I need year to be easily selected. Otherwise it would take some time to go back 20+ years
The issue turned out to be how many options it could hold, as we had 4 existing drop downs of list of countries it took up most of its capacity of options and would cause an error making more check box/ radio option.
Just to update, in the course of debugging, we have found the issue to be with the number of options or texts the form can hold, as we had 4 country selection drop downs already, the issue was fixed by remove some options. This needs to be fixed
