Description
Hello SAM team,
I was working with field data in 15-minute intervals in SAM format, for 2019. I noticed that the data of 2019 when copied from the clipboard results, the year is being rewritten to 2020. Below I show how I found this maybe bug. ~~

Research direction
No source file or test is identified in the issue. Reproduce the clipboard copy using the attached 2019, 15-minute SAM-format data and compare the exported timestamp with the input and dashboard values. Done means clipboard output preserves the source year instead of rewriting it to 2020.
