special date fields for movies

What should the field look like?
Syntax: [fieldname:yyyy-mm-dd]
 
What does the field contain?
Various date fields for a movie.
The definition of the fields is in auxil/moviefields.dbx.

pubdate: The date of first publication of the movie.
creationdate: The creation date of a movie.
 
Which checks are done?
Standard date field checks:

The field always has the (international standard) format "yyyy-mm-dd".
If the day is unknown, the field has no "-dd" ("yyyy-mm"). If the month is unknown too, the date is simply a 4-digit year.

If only the quarter of the year is known, the date format is "yyyy-Qx" where x is 1, 2, 3, or 4. For instance "1998-Q3" = 3rd quarter of 1998.

A date field can be followed by a '?'.

If a date contains a letter 'y', 'm', or 'd', the rest of the date, starting with this letter, is ignored. This allows dates like "1978-mm-dd" and "1978-03-dd". (This feature was added to make the input more readable. Use it with care!)

Note that the full 4-digit year is mentioned in the date.

The checking on real dates is not done completely, for instance February 29th is allowed in all years.
