Rails: Changing date format displayed in date_field

I am working on a rails application and have changed the date format displayed across my app to dd.mm.yyyy using the following code in a file in the config/initializers directory:

Date::DATE_FORMATS[:default]="%d.%m.%Y"
Time::DATE_FORMATS[:default]="%d.%m.%Y %H:%M"

However, in my forms where I am using the f.date_field tags, the date display is shown as mm/dd/yyyy. How can I change the format used there?

Try this

f.date_field :some_name, value: @some_time.strftime('%d.%m.%Y')
