    Description

      QDate::fromString("05.12.20", QLocale::system().dateFormat(QLocale::ShortFormat));

      returns 05.12.1920 even we're in the 21st century for some years now. Although this can't be changed for Qt5 I would assume it's fine for Qt6. The affecting code is in qdatetimeparser.cpp / QDateTimeParser::fromString():

      QDateTime val(QDate(1900, 1, 1).startOfDay());
