PickList date element

[acarur01]

Is there any way to force the dropdowns used for date element to not have a value by default? As in we do not want to show any selection on the month/date/year if they have not entered a value previously.

The way to do have an initially blank value for a DateItem is to set useTextField:true. Otherwise the drop downs must show some value as there is no way to validate or even represent a partial date (like the 15th of an unknow month an year).
