Hi,
Thank you for reporting the problem.
When the date field is located in a fieldGroup dateTimeFormat is applied instead of dateFormat by some reason.
To fix the problem define the similar dateTimeFormat.

I am not sure the behavior is wrong. To know the resolution see the following Issue:

ok I create short method which change date format for all DateField in edit window.

private void setDateFormat(Entity<?> entity) {
    UserSessionSource userSessionSource = AppBeans.get(UserSessionSource.NAME);
    FormatStrings formatStrings = Datatypes.getFormatStrings(userSessionSource.getLocale());
    if (formatStrings == null)
        return;
    for (Entry<String, FieldConfig> field : fieldList.entrySet()) {
        FieldConfig fc = field.getValue();
        if (isDate(entity, fc.getId())) {
            DateField dcomponent = (DateField) fc.getComponent();
            dcomponent.setDateFormat(formatStrings.getDateFormat());
        }
    }
}
