Auto-propagate treats fuzzy matches as 100% match...how to fix it?

Question

Dear colleagues, 
 I hope this message finds you safe and healthy:) 
 I just finished a short translation that contains several date-and-day segments. While Studio 2019 automatically replaced subsequent segments with correct date information, it incorrectly copied the translation for the day and claimed the fuzzy match to be a 100% match. (see attached screenshot) 
 How do I fix the problem? I am using Studio 2019 SR2-15.2.5.2145. 
 Thank you.

 I think your problem first of all stems from Studio not providing the option you need for your long date. Studio attempts to provide this: 
 
 Looking at this I don't think there is an option to get you what you're after (I'm guessing at what this should be and assuming en(US) - zh(TW)): 
 2020年3月27日，星期五 2020年3月26日，星期四 2020年3月25日，星期三 
 It looks as though the days are missed off. So the result is the AP is correct, insofar as it doesn't care about the actual day... which seems wrong to me. I'll question this with support. 
 Then the issue is exacerbated because your problem is that you have attempted to force a translation by writing in the translation you want, and as Studio sees the source as a recognised date it takes your translation and repeats it as a 100% match, which is clearly wrong. 
 I don't believe you can fix this in the settings suggested because none of them provide you with what you need. Your best bet is to use the Terminjector or the Regex AutoSuggest Provider because you won't be able to benefit from AP here anyway, so at least you can get some help with the typing. I'd recommend you filter on the dates and tackle them first, then lock them.
