No.
you can edit any field in the tag panel and/or the file list - you only have to add it as it is a field that is not too widely spread.
But for us now, who tried to find the underlying rule it should now be clear that the display in foobar originates in 2 fields.
As a test you could delete the DATE field in MP3tag and see how the display changes in Foobar.

Just to clarify... this is not a workaround. Foobar is combining the two year and date fields together. That is how it has been designed. Those separate fields in mp3tag are updated exactly as controlled by the user. These are not automatically changed. If you want to change or delete either of them, that it under your control.
