Invoice Date not working

Hi, I am about to send an invoice but the date is not working. On the invoice date the figure is 01/02/23YY, when I select the exact date on the calendar, the figure displayed is 01/M2/1Y20. When I entered manually the date with the format DD/MM/YYY, the invoice could not send as it prompted "Please Correct the error" which is the invoice date. Please help.  I have inserted a screen shot for the invalid date.

The invoice date input field is NOT working.  The validation script has a bug in it.  It is looking for two, two-digit month values instead of one two-digit date and one two-digit month.

 

The same occurs even if I use the date picker to enter the date.

 

The end result is that invoices cannot be sent, since the fail date validation.  There appears to be NO WORK-AROUND.

I really hope they fix this ASAP because a Friday is the worst day to have an issue like that. I'll have to find another invoicing solution after over a year using Paypal.

 

EDIT: I spend over an hour going through all the hoops with phone support, forwarding screenshots, etc. They promised 48hs for a solution or reply. Hopefully it's solved earlier than that.

It's Jan 22...still not working for me in Canada. 
Ended up just creating an invoice in a separate program, sending the invoice via email and then sending a money request for the amount. 
Hopefully they get this fixed soon!
