I tried to format the date when I select date on datepicker


 <?= $form->field($modelheader,'mydate')->widget(DatePicker::className(),

         ['clientOptions' => ['dateFormat' => 'yy-mm-dd',]


         ])

     ?>

but it did not format it always show like this

I don’t know what’s wrong on this,but I followed what the guides says on how to format.
