Default year set to 1970 when filling out PDF Timecard

We fill out a fillable PDF timecard at work.  I open the original file and click in the "date" field to enter the date and a calendar pops up, starting with todays date, which is great.  I go through and fill out all my hours for all the days worked.   I save it and submit it.  The problem is, the following week, I'd like to just open last week's timecard, since my hours are always the same, and just change the dates.  When I click in the date box, it brings up the calendar, but from 1970.  I have to reset the year to 2021 to get the right date.  This happens in every date box.  I've gone back to the original and refilled it out, the calendar is always right, but when I save it and reopen it, and go to change the date, I'm back to 1970.  Nobody else has this issue, Android or Apple.  I have a Google Pixel.  Any ideas?

The issue is the date format without year.

I'm not sure what you're saying.   The issue is that when I click in the box to change the date, for each day of the week, the calendar that pops up by default is set to 1970.  The year isn't shown in the box, but the days of the week don't correspond to the right numbers.

In the properties of the fields use the format mm/dd/yyyy and it use the correct year.
