Keynote changing file names ending with 2023 to 2024

I have a weird problem since a few weeks back. When trying to save keynote presentations with names such as "Monday presentation week 44 2023" keynote changes the file name to "Monday presentation week 44 2024", and it can't be changed back. The weirdest thing is that I got a brand new MacBook last week, but the problem still persists on the new computer. Can't change the file name afterwards in Finder either...

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

Cant replicate this behaviour in the last two versions of Keynote running Mac OS Monterey, Ventura and Sonoma.

Your profile indicates you are using Mac OS Monterey 12.6, so update to MacOS 12.7.2 and see if that helps.

Keynote probably thinks that the trailing 2023 is a version copy and would automatically increment it by one to 2024. Try renaming the Keynote filename to "Monday presentation week 44_2023.key" and see if this solves the filenaming issue.
