Description
Attempting to add "[..1904]" ("the year 1904 or an earlier year") to https://georeference.maprva.org/1294/ causes a 500 error to return.
This seems to be an issue with a leading square bracket, as removing it or putting a different character ahead of it gets past the 500 error, though it then does not pass the EDTF validator.

Research direction
Reproduce the error by manually entering "[..1904]" on https://georeference.maprva.org/1294/ and compare it with the variants described in the issue. Trace the EDTF editing and validation entry point that handles the leading square bracket; done means the valid EDTF value is accepted without returning HTTP 500.
