The date drop down is one of the most usable elements of gravity forms - for international form fillers this removes any confusion over date formats.
The biggest issue is the years are only in the past (and one year into the future).
Would it be possible to add a switch for future dates? This would be incredibly handy for people specifying dates in the future.
2013
2014
2015
etc.
It appears there are already filters for that: gform_date_max_year and gform_date_min_year.

http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_date_min_year
Here is how I used it to change my drop down:
[php]
add_filter('gform_date_max_year', 'change_max_year');
function change_max_year($max_year) {
return date('Y') + 7;
}
add_filter('gform_date_min_year', 'change_min_year');
function change_min_year($min_year) {
return '1977';
}

Thanks Chris, very handy. The only issue with this is the years are in reverse, so looks kind of strange:
2018
2017
2016
2015
2014
2013
Would be more logically if future dates were ascending. I vote for a "future dates" switch on the date drop down field - which would automatically add similar filters and list the years in ascending order
I'l tag this too as a feature request. Thank you for the suggestion.
