Comment 1 for bug 857963

Yes, need to check if this is the same problem as https://bugs.launchpad.net/bauble/+bug/856241

It looks like in most cases when the widget values are being set editors (and probably elsewhere) the default date format isn't being respected. This could probably be fixed in most cases by updating bauble.utils.set_widget_value() to check for datetime.date values.

This has been fixed for the propagation editor in some cases but needs to be more thoroughly checked throughout the code.
