Date formats: Are Editor and the "ultimate" plugin using different formatting codes?
Date formats: Are Editor and the "ultimate" plugin using different formatting codes?
It seems that MMM DD, YYYY would give me "May 13, 2015" with the "ultimate" plugin.

With Editor, it seems I would need to specify M d, yy to get the same result of "May 13, 2015".

Is this observation correct? If yes, is there any way to use the same formatting string for both, or do I need to plan for this difference?

This is correct - the "ultimate" plug-in is using Moment.js to perform its date / time calculations, while the
datetype uses jQuery UI's date formatter when jQuery UI is included on the page.The only way to have the two use the same format is to use a different date picker - one that uses Moment.js specifically. You might consider this plug-in which does use Moment according to the required library's own documentation.
