I am working with Django and using a datepicker to select the date in a form field:
<h3>Data de recebimento</h3>
{{ form.creation_date }}
<script>
$(function () {
$("#id_creation_date").datepicker({
format:'dd/mm/yyyy',
});
});
</script>
In the creation form, when clicking appears the calendar in the current month and the date is saved correctly, but when I edit a form, when clicking on the date field the calendar displays the year 1911:
Is it possible to set the default month to be displayed? The strange thing is that when the field is empty it is already done.
Note: in Django the ids are automatically generated with the name of the field with "id_" in front, so the field creation_dateis referred to as id_creation_dateand this apparently has nothing to do with the problem.

Before displaying in the view, you need to convert the server date to the desired format.

I have to convert the date that was saved to the creation form so that the datepicker shows the correct month?

Yes, you can do this directly with the query in the database or on the server before returning the date to the client.
