>                 Key: FLEX-20983
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-20983
>             Project: Apache Flex
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: i18n : Formatter Support
>    Affects Versions: Adobe Flex SDK 3.4 (Release)
>         Environment: Affected OS(s): All OS Platforms
> Browser: Firefox 3.x
> Language Found: English
>            Reporter: Adobe JIRA
>            Priority: Minor

> The problem in its nutshell: 
> Currently DateField and DateFormatter share the single value specified in variable "dateFormat" in SharedResources.properties file, while those classes do not support the same set of formatting options (masks)
> DateFormatter supports a full set of available formatting options (masks) see LiveDocs for "formatString":
> http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/formatters/DateFormatter.html#formatString
> Y, M, D, E, A, J, H, K, L, N, S masks are supported
> DateField supports only *limited* subset from full set of available formatting options(masks), see LiveDocs for "formatString"
> http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/controls/DateField.html#formatString
> M, MM, D, YY, YYYY are supported, while even MMM and MMMM are not supported, probably bug: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-23075
> E, A, J, H, K, L, N, S masks are not supported by DateField component
> The problem is that anyone during localization process of "SharedResources.properties" can alter the value for "dateFormat" to include any masks from full subset of supported options for DateFormatter.
> While this will be OK for Dates that are displayed with DateFormatter format applied, all Dates that are displayed in DateFields UI control will be screwed.
> See attached Flex project sample that illustrates this problem.
