SID-00784: How to Change Date Format in TWiki Form?

If I used DateFieldPlugin, I could set the date format:

The default date format is taken from the JSCalendarContrib settings. You can change the date format by setting the TWiki variable 'DATEFORMAT' in your TWikiPreferences, your WebPreferences or in a topic.

But date is now a built-in type for TWiki forms. I don't need DateFieldPlugin.

So, how do I set the preferred date format?

Discussion and Answer

In twiki/lib/LocalSite.cfg set this:

$TWiki::cfg{DefaultDateFormat} = '$year-$mo-$day';

Vicki, I invite you to get involved again with the TWiki community. Open source is about giving and taking. I find it unfortunate that some large companies are many on the taking side.
