Legacy has already asked your permission to change what you enter based on the selection you have in Options > Customize > Data Format.
There are also options for date formatting in the Dates section Nothing is corrupted. You just need to go to Options and set the way you want it then you can make corrections in the Master Lists if you forgot to set the options your way.
