sets the format of dates in the "Start time" column of the table
gantt.config.date_grid = "%d/%m/%Y";
gantt.init("gantt_here");
To change the grid_date config dynamically (for instance, after a user changes the locale language), you need to redefine the grid_date_format template:
function change_grid_date(){
gantt.config.date_grid = "%d.%m.%Y";
gantt.render()
}
gantt.templates.grid_date_format = function(date, column){
return gantt.date.date_to_str(gantt.config.date_grid)(date);
};
