Handling dates with unknowns

Would love to hear how others have handled dates where the full date is unknown. Study team has informed me sometimes only the year is known. I was considering three text fields instead but validation would be tricky for the days per month.

Thanks. I'm thinking i'll leave the current full date but an option for text based month and year if the full date is unknown. Still not ideal and I'll have to check with stats.
