Stop Requiring 4-digit Years in the Date Field

EVERY time someone on our team tries to enter a date, it comes back as an error since everyone uses 2 digit year formatting. This is causing us a lot of frustration, and it making it difficult to get my team to use NXT over classic view. If there is anything to be done about this (two digit automatically becomes 4 digit, allow 2 digit years.. whatever) that would be lovely.

You now only need to use 2 characters to fill in the year field through the system. Just enter the 2 digits and hit tab and you are good to go. This should work for actions, for date filters on lists, etc. Thanks for the feedback!!

Other like systems I've used also allow typing the month and day, and will automatically fill in this year if the year is left blank. Blackbaud should be taking more steps to reduce keystrokes for data entry.

I find myself getting frustrated that I can't type "15" and get today's date, "6/15/2016" to populate. Or type "061515" to get "6/15/2015".
