Use pattern attribute for date fields

[yannickoo]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When trying to enter dates in a format like dd.mm.yyyy you get no error or hint regarding the format. The correct format would be yyyy-mm-dd.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be so cool to have the pattern attribute implemented for that field so that we can define a regex for those fields.

<input type="text" pattern="[0-9]{4}-(0[1-9]|1[012])-(0[1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-9]|3[01])">

You can verify that pattern here in the second example: http://html5pattern.com/Dates

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #687 (Date fields are not localized), #795 (Birthday, Date of Death, Anniversary fields are date-time fields, but should only be date fields), #278 (The date fields are not working), #302 (Missing Fields), and #216 (How-to use the Social network, Instant messaging Field?).

Hello! :)
@yannickoo what app version are you using?

[yannickoo]

@skjnldsv it's still Nextcloud 13 and yes I know it's definitely time to upgrade 😬 Do you know if this also occurs with the latest version of Nextcloud?

@yannickoo You need to upgrade to at least 15 and contacts 3.0.0, I cannot help you on older versions :)
Only security fixes will be updated for older apps.

Please reopen after your upgrade if this is still occuring! 😉
