Incorrect DOB at online check in
Although I've got my passport details saved with CX but they still ask for DOB when doing online checkin today and I incorrectly put in the date of my passport's expire date, the year was correct though..... Would that cause a problem or it will get fixed at the check in counter later? Thanks.

not a problem. i spent a whole year entering my incorrect passport expiration by accident. I thought I had it memorized, and only a year or so later did I realize that what I "remembered" was in fact wrong. never had an issue.

It seems no problems at all. The check in agent didn't even notice and I passed through immigration fine

Incorrect DOB should not be okay; if it was overlooked that seems like a security problem.

I think they re-enter your passport details (including DOB) at check-in anyway.
