Unable to Enter Date of Birth Before 1900

[ThierryMyshepherd]

When attempting to register the date of birth for a deceased individual born in 1899, the platform does not allow entry of any year earlier than 1900. The year field appears to be restricted to 1900 and above, preventing accurate data entry for individuals born before that year.

The related issue is here

Just a technical note for future:

Looks like we have hard-coded logic in code preventing dates before 1900

opencrvs-core/packages/components/src/DateField/DateField.tsx

Line 173 in b6e0c9c

min={1900}

opencrvs-core/packages/components/src/DateField/DateField.tsx

Line 100 in b6e0c9c

(val.length === 2 && Number(val) < 19)

@rikukissa I think there is also similar hardcoded logic in the validations.ts file related to 1900
@ThierryMyshepherd 1.6.3 is closed and in smoke test so I need to make a new milestone and assign this to 1.6.4

This is resolved in 1.7.2
