I am having issues adjusting time and date. I scanned some old photos and I'm importing them into photos. The default date is today's date 2021. The actual date of the photo is 1982, however, when I try to change the year it won't work properly.

I've just checked in big sur. The behaviour is similar.

Essentially the year times out so if you don't enter all 4 digits in a certain time, it starts a new year. The solution is to enter all the digits without pause - though you don't need to be anywhere near as quick as when I had the problem in Catalina.

Sometimes it helps to restart Photos, when the date cannot be changed properly. Then the typing may be easier for a while.

As a work-around, if all is failing, select the year and use the stepper buttons "^" and "v" to step the year up or down.

The advantage of using the stepper buttons is, that the focus will remain on the year field and not lost. I am having a similar problem of Photos accepting not all key strokes when entering text when typing into the Info, for example to enter a keyword.

Hi

What version of Macos do you have?

I was experiencing similar problems in Catalina. I found that typing all the digits of the year quickly would get past it.

Not ideal, I know.
