Date 'format' is not respected on 'Update'.

[Real-Gecko]

I use widget in my _form.php that is used both by create and update actions:

        <?= $form->field($model, 'publication_date')->widget(
            DatePicker::className(), [
                'language' => 'ru',
                'clientOptions' => [
                    'autoclose' => true,
                    'format' => 'dd.mm.yyyy',
                    'todayBtn' => true,
                    'pickerPosition' => 'top-left'
                ]
        ]);?>

When I select desired date in create view, everything is fine:

But when I go to 'update' view I see that required field is rendered like this: So, no format is respected during rendering the field. Any ways to fix?

@Real-Gecko have you tried providing the same format on server and client? Otherwise, I highly recommend that you modify the value of the attribute prior placing it on the widget. Maybe on
