Is the problem here with the release date field dropdown going to be fixed, so it can accept film release dates from the 1890s again?

Hi, this is still an ongoing problem and it has been over 4 months now.
Any hope at all of getting this sorted out? Others are noticing this too now, comments are being made about this problem by people at British Film Institute silent film screenings.

This can be fixed by passing a min value to kendoDatePicker (default is new Date(1900, 0, 1)):

function checkDateEditor(container, options) {
  $(...).appendTo(container).kendoDatePicker({ min: new Date(1800, 0, 1) });
}
