I was translating a table with numbers like:
1.5.6
-
2.1.15 etc.

when I notices the software had "translated" this irregularly. Sometimes it had converted them into date-format, at other places it had just invented something out of its head. (1.5.9 -->9.5-1).

Did you try to disable Auto-Substitution function? Sep 17, 2020

Select in the respective dialog box the TM in question, then select Auto-Substitution.
After that deselect the appropriate options: "Numbers":

Inconsisent numbers Sep 18, 2020

I find that sometimes it is better to write a regex to "clean up" the inconsistencies.
