By default, the Custom Date field is auto-filled with a text version of the numeric date entered in the fields above it.
To display a different date than the one filled in automatically, just edit the text of the custom date field.
Note: Say you enter a
publication, edit the custom date text so it's just right, and submit
the form. Later you edit the entry and change the year or the
month, causing your carefully composed custom date to be overwitten by
the auto-fill. All is not lost: simply click the green cycling
arrow icon to the right of the Custom Date field to restore the
previous custom date.
