New description:
I am using `id` locale. Somehow, on that locale, the django admin uses two
digits year to be displayed in input fields.
The datepicker UI will display this wrong year:
[[Image(https://drive.google.com/file/d/17KEkY89TqimwJIJ0kz-
b2IJpYETpd46g/view?usp=sharing)]]
Instead of showing year 2019, it shows year 1919.
If I changed the locale to `en`, the datepicker will display the correct
year (2019). I also noticed that `en` by default uses 4 digits year in
input fields.
Therefore, my workaround for this problem is to use 4 digits year for that
locale by configuring FORMAT_MODULE_PATH. Now datepicker shows the correct
year on `id` locale.
However, it is quite clear that there is a bug in the datepicker display
that happens when two digits year format is used.
