Hi,
I try to do as the link below.
https://djangotricks.blogspot.com/2019/10/working-with-dates-and-times-in-forms.html
I can set this calendar widget on form but format to enter data turn into mm/dd/yyyy H:M AM/PM . I want another format.
However ,I want the format like dd/mm/yyyy H:M. Hour is 1-23, It is local date time format of my country.
I have gotten stuck for this issue for a while ,I have tried to change format as my need in form.py on datefield both widget and class . , but it is not ok at all. It still show mm/dd/yyyy and what is worse is that when I click edit item, it cannot set this field on form. (see in picture below).
In general, python store data date type as YYYY-mm-dd fomat
but we get it to show as desired like dd/mm/yyyy using strftime function.
1.how to fix this problem ?
2.Is it ok if I need to use a third-party package?, if so please recommend Django datetime-widget.

I use boostrap, it is default template from visual studio 2019 professtional edition.
