Remove the date validation rule
'manufacture_year' => 'required|date_format:Y'
Also try putting it in quotes " ".

Laravel 5 validate date as php Y format e.g 2015?
I have a form that uses bootstraps datepicker. I want to collect the year as 2015 for example
How do i do that?
The datepicker code is this:
$('#manufacture_year').datepicker({
format: " yyyy",
viewMode: "years",
minViewMode: "years",
endDate: FromendDate,
autoclose: true,
disableEntry: true
});
I'm displaying the datepicker like so:
{!! Form::text('manufacture_year', null, ['placeholder' => '1984', 'class' => 'form-control datepicker-default', 'id' => 'manufacture_year']) !!}
My validation rules are:
'manufacture_year' => 'required|date|date_format:Y'
When i submit the form i keep getting:
The manufacture year is not a valid date.,The manufacture year does not match the format Y.
I put 'Y' as the date format refering to:
Where it states that 'Y' equates a full numeric representation of a year, 4 digits
Thank you for reading this.

Hi @mstnorris
I've tried
'manufacture_year' => 'required|date_format:"Y"',
and
'manufacture_year' => 'required|date_format:Y',
Still doesn't work mate.

The stupid mistake i made was in the javascript for the datepicker
If you notice my code, there's a space in the format property
$('#manufacture_year').datepicker({
format: " yyyy", // Notice the space
viewMode: "years",
minViewMode: "years",
endDate: FromendDate,
autoclose: true,
disableEntry: true
});
It should be
$('#manufacture_year').datepicker({
format: "yyyy",
viewMode: "years",
minViewMode: "years",
endDate: FromendDate,
autoclose: true,
disableEntry: true
});

Hello @mstnorris I'm facing issue with the date_format validation rule where it's accepting 0020 as Y. The current year as: "date_format:d-m-Y" and it's accepting such date: "21-12-0020"
Any thoughts how we can restrict this ?

I believe the date_format only validates the format, not the actual date.
Have you tried just date?
https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/validation#rule-date
Also, not that I believe it would affect it, but it is always helpful if you state what version of Laravel you're using.
