11231	forms.DateField, initial doesn't print out in input_formats format	skm	nobody	"start_date = forms.DateField(initial=date.today()-timedelta(days=1), input_formats=[DATE_FORMAT], widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={""readonly"":""true""}))

I can use strftime() but then in view code, where I am adding timedelta, accessing SearchForm.base_fields[""start_date""].initial doesnt return a datetime object, it returns a string

As well as that, if the value isn't there the format ends up being different to when someone selects a date."		closed	Uncategorized	1.0		duplicate			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
