I want to change the default formatting for the date picker (it puts a date in there automatically and formats it so it is compliant with the entry date format, right?)

Is the best way to do this, add the datepicker=“no” parameter and then put in my own jquery statement? Just curious if this is the easiest way.

Yep.

Sure, if you wanted to. Take a look at the JS it outputs for a head start. But if you submit a date that isn’t formatted according to EE specs, you’ll get an error FYI.

One of these days we’ll do some auto conversion on times to get around this issue.
