Local fix
The user could have just used locale format when bound to a Date object or to use a custom format a conversion to a string could be done prior to running Heritage Coach.
Problem summary
The heritage coach date selector did not support custom formatting when bound to a date object. And the heritage coach output text only supported the format "MM-dd-yyyy" when bound to a simple type business object based on the date type. PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION: The heritage coach date selector did not support custom formatting when bound to a date object. And the heritage coach output text only supported the format "MM-dd-yyyy" when bound to a simple type business object based on the date type.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V.R.M.F that, 1. Date Selector: Added a new model property called "overrideLocaleDateFormat" and the exposed this in the UI properties. In addition the CoachDesigner.xsl and DateTimePicker.js were updated to work with and without the present of this new model property. 2. Output Text: When bound to a simple type business object based on the date type, the format defined within the business object is used instead of the the "MM-dd-yyyy" hard-coded format.
