>From example cited below, so it Jan 2020, and I need to enter transaction dates
for Dec 2019. This is a fairly annual occurrence.

Entering 12/1 = 12/01/20 not 12/01/19

So it's tax time, bunch of transactions from last year, I need to document.
It's 2020 and I must type ##/##/19 for every transaction date.  I have changed
the computer date in the past, but I need information from the web at the same
time, so that starts breaking webpages cause the token dates don't match.
Became too troublesome. Spent 2 hours trying to figure out how, finally just
started typing...........Hard to believe with everyone using these spreadsheets
as data holders it's not easier to fill in the blank.

LibreOffice already fetches the date from the computer? no work around?

If I could format a default, that would be great such as MM/DD/2019

Although I think more universally, remembering the
last month typed/ last day typed /Last year typed kept as a default
or the DD/MM/YY for the rest of the world.
