For a form, DateField can accept multiple formats, e.g. I can set
{{{
form['mydate'].input_formats = ('%Y-%m-%d', '%m/%d/%Y', '%m/%d/%y')
}}}
And if I post
{{{
form.data = {'mydate': '01/15/2013'}
}}}
The form will happily accepts the format.
However, if the date did not really change:
{{{
form.initial = {'mydate': '2013-01-15'}
form.data = {'mydate': '01/15/2013'}
}}}
'mydate' will show up in form.changed_data, because
widgets.DateInput._format_value can only use one format, there's no way to
make the widget recognize multiple formats.
