### What’s The Bug?

I have a property of type “Date”. I can enter the date by using the Date Picker, but not by manually typing it in the date field, which changes the date to “31.12.1969” no matter what I type.  
For example, typing in “01.01.2025” and pressing enter results in the date set to “31.12.1969”.

### How To Reproduce It

1. Create / edit any object with a date property
2. Click into the date field and type any date (without using the date picker), for example “01.01.2025”
3. Press Enter - the date changes to “31.12.1969”

### The Expected Behavior

The correct date should be recorded

### Additional Context

This is a big issue for me because I often enter dates way in the past, making it impossible to use the date picker. For example, it will take forever to click through to 2006 using the date picker.
