For Example:

01-08-2018
07-08-2018
01-10-2018
14-10-2018
01-12-2018
16-12-2018
01-01-2019
20-01-2019

 

Like in existing date field, December for the year 2017 and Jan,Feb,March,April,May,June and September for the year 2018 is not available. Now I have to create all those months in data.

Please suggest how I can achieve this.

Thanks in advance.
