Has anyone else noticed that when you now type a date eg. 31/5/20 or 31/5/21 it now defaults to 1920 or 1921?

It always used to put the correct date but now its changed, its thrown me right out.

It's now defaulting to the year being 19XX

Hi markitoff The transactions that you create should auto populate with today's date but if you manually enter the date in a transaction with the year ending 21 it auto defaults to 1921. We'll certainly pass your comments on to our engineers and once we have a response as to why it does this we'll get back to you, we'd also be grateful if you can leave feedback from within the product.

Hi, it's not just the year, you could previously type part of a date, for example 26 and it would prefill the rest based on the current month year (26/02/21). Now you have to enter the full date, including the year in full.

It was fine yesterday.

I tested this in a different browser and it makes no difference.

Any idea when this will be addressed.

Thanks,

Robin
