#21556 closed Bug (worksforme)

Date field shows in changed_data due to different format

Description

For a form, DateField can accept multiple formats, e.g. I can set

form['mydate'].input_formats = ('%Y-%m-%d', '%m/%d/%Y', '%m/%d/%y')

And if I post

form.data = {'mydate': '01/15/2013'}

The form will happily accepts the format.

However, if the date did not really change:

form.initial = {'mydate': '2013-01-15'}
form.data = {'mydate': '01/15/2013'}

'mydate' will show up in form.changed_data, because widgets.DateInput._format_value can only use one format, there's no way to make the widget recognize multiple formats.

Are you really using Django 1.6? Some recent improvements have been made in this realm. Change detection is now done on the field level and the input value is transformed to a python date value before the comparison, so generally what you describe should not happen.

Could you please give us a more comprehensive code example so as we can better see what's happening in your case?

My apologizes, I am using 1.5.
