6974	Re: #6966: It's impossible to specify input_formats for DateTimeFields in ModelForms	johannes.spielmann@…	nobody	"Well. Sorry to open a new ticket for this, but it seems you don't want to let me post to the other one, namely #6966. So read my comments here:



""Let me rephrase my complaint:



There is no way to specify the way ''date'' and ''time'' strings work for locales other than the US. Very nice. Date and time string interpretation should be a function of the locale, not of specific fields -- which is not the case here.



I ''know'' that I can forgo the benefits of using {{{ModelForms}}} for {{{DateTimeFields}}} by manually inserting {{{DateTimeFields}}} and specifying an input format. But I already specified the locale ''and'' the fields.



Do you find it acceptable to repeat all this information ''for each and every {{{DateTimeField}}}''? Is '''that''' the intention behind {{{ModelForms}}}?
