To my knowledge, the date field will automatically reset to the current date whenever creating a new transaction. However, there is a simple workaround:
Go ahead and create a new transaction as usual, setting the date field to the proper 2019 date. Once you've entered all necessary info, save the transaction using the 'Save' button in the bottom right corner. Next, click the 'More' button on the bottom center of the screen. You'll then select the 'Copy' option,
This will copy over a new transaction ready for you to edit and the date field will stay within 2019. You'll simply repeat this process each time which should save you from having to go back multiple years. I hope this helps to save you some time! :)
