Bump, 3 questions

- Why can’t we add a date type on customer user field. Please add that functionality.  
My use case is also to verify age of community members during sign-up.

- Also is there a way where cake day is customizable to include birth year?

- Want to make some user fields in profile compulsory to be filled up post sign up
