SUMMARY
New transactions use a past date by default. In my case, it used May 17th, 2023. I tried with different types of accounts: checking, savings, brokerage and investment. All of them used the same default date (05/17/2023). 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Access any account.
2. Click on the "New transaction" option in the top menu.
3. Watch what the default transaction date is. 

OBSERVED RESULT
- The new transaction used a past date (05/17/2023 in my case).

EXPECTED RESULT
- It should use today's date.
