Hi, I am having the old issue with the date time fields format with wpdatatables. Has there been any work to improve this? The format I need wpdatatables to work with is yyyy-dd-mm.

Since I had to force the field to be a string to work, how can I force my users to type in a specific format? Is there a way to apply an input mask to a specific field?

I found a workaround using a MySQL trigger to reformat the data and insert/update it into the destination column. It would  still be nice to be able to apply specific masks to fields.

A lot of other plugins have a capability to hook into their plugin using a custom functions.php. Is it possible to do this with wpdatatables? If so, are there any example functions you have available?

I see it is possible to choose different Date and Time formats in the settings portion of WPDatatables. Can I add a new format to choose there? Right now when my SQL date is 0000-00-00 00:00:00 it shows as 11/30/-0001 00:00 in WPDatatables. My column type is DateTime.

There has to be a better way to handle this since that MySQL date format is fairly common. Thoughts?

It would be nice if we could have the ability to add our own custom masks when building a wpdatatable. It could be a simple field that you add to the columns where you can define the mask. I've used this js in another plugin. https://igorescobar.github.io/jQuery-Mask-Plugin/docs.html
