QBO date format keeps going back 100 years

Hello, strange problem I encountered this morning, and I was hoping one of you has dealt with it before and can offer advice.

In QBO, whenever I enter a date in a date field, QBO would automatically correct it to the proper format. For example, if i can creating an invoice, I can enter 3/1 in the due date, and QBO corrects it to 03/01/2021.

But this morning, if I entered 3/1, it would say "invalid date", and if I enter 3/1/21, it changes it to 03/01/1921. 

I tried quitting out of QBO and relogging in, and clearing the cache. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

It's a software change they've made at the server end.  I contacted them and was told they are aware of the issue and are working to fix it. How their QC let's something so basic make it into a software release is another question, of course.

Thanks rt2! Hopefully they will fix it quickly. I had to go back and change several transactions before I realized it was entering 1921, not 2021.
