I have the same need of saving historic dates (down to 17th century).

I used the script that @aminta wrote and it allows the user to select the historic date fine, and the date is saved correctly to the DB (Jan 1, 1700 is ‘17000101’ on DB)

But when I edit the post (on backend) I get the default date of today instead of the saved date of Jan 1, 1700…

How can I fix this?
