Description: Currently membershipStart can no be changed in the UI.
The main reason is that we stored this field in text format that is not really optimal to work with (e.g. February 2001) and it makes the field value error prone. We decided to not allow edits on this field until we change the format.
The 2 options are:
- Store a date at the first date on the month
- Store an ISO partial date (e.g. 2001-02) as char(7) with regex

From this [commit|https://github.com/gbif/directory/commit/c95255c01283ca84535a39cb0b3c33743cbd9e51], membershipStart must be an ISO partial date in the form of YYYY-MM.
A database migration is required to change all the current values.

[migration script|https://github.com/gbif/directory/commit/57bcf510e8d8d32d270eb1eb4876a96e8d091cf9] is now ready.
[~hoefft] you can now allow user to enter the membership start date as YYYY-MM, the server API will validate it.

[~bko@gbif.org], this change will probably affect pages like http://www.gbif.org/participation/participant-list since the Directory API will return a different response for /participant.
