Having an issue where if I type just the month and day, it will not default to the current year. Example:

Type Jan 6 <enter> it comes out as January 1, 2006
Type Feb 28 <enter> it comes out as February 1, 2028

I am positive that regardless of the month or day entered, the year would automatically default to 2023.

What am I missing here?
