Re: DateInput not accepting format argument

Thanks @Joe. I had been trying to avoid using a third party app if I could help it. I ended up using the default Django DateTime widget as-is. Will try out your recommendation if the need arises.

Kind regards,
Lloyd

Try this:

in settings.py

USE_L10N = False

USE_TZ = True

DATE_INPUT_FORMATS = ['%B %d, %Y']

In forms.py

start_date = forms.DateField(
    widget=forms.DateInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'October 24, 2019'}),
)

Hi,

I have a form with a start_date field of type DateField (widget is DateInput).

When I specify a format argument, the input does not render as specified. The format is always YYYY-MM-DD. My code is as follows:

```

start_date = forms.DateField(

label='Start date',

widget=forms.widgets.DateInput(

format='%d %B, %Y',

attrs = {

'type': 'date',

}

)

)

```
What am I missing?

Kind regards,
Lloyd
