In entering the month, it could allow numbers 1-12 and automatically change the info to that month.
So, while I was indexing orders of admission, I kept typing in the month number since that's what the image shows (which, obviously, doesn't work, since you're supposed to type in the first 3 letters of the month), so I got the idea that you could add in a way to be able to type in numbers 1-12, and after the number is typed in and you click away from the text box, what is shown in the text box is changed to the first 3 letters of the corresponding month. For example: Type in 1: It changes to Jan, Type in 2: It changes to Feb, and so on. That could make it a bit easier to put in the month while indexing an image in which the date is shown in X/XX/XXXX style, as you wouldn't have to think about which month that number is.

They could execute this by renaming the dropdown choices as 1 - Jan, 2 - Feb, 3 - Mar, etc., which would cause the correct month abbreviation to be selectable by number, as you suggest. The system could drop the number and dash when posting the value, leaving only the 3-letter Month abbreviation.
