    Hi sandhya,

    For the value storage datetime will work as we discussed. Seems like format in sightly is not working in 6.2. So we need to write a formatter like below for your component.

    package apps.project.components.author.componentname;
    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
    import java.util.Calendar;
    import com.adobe.cq.sightly.WCMUsePojo;
    public class DateFormatter extends WCMUsePojo {
        private String formattedDate;
        @Override
        public void activate() {
        Calendar date  = get("date", Calendar.class);
        String format =  get("format",String.class);
        SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(format);
        formattedDate = formatter.format(date.getTime());
        }    
        public String getFormattedDate() {
            return formattedDate;
        }
    }

    <sly data-sly-use.date="${'DateFormatter' @ date=properties.doe,format='dd/MM/yyyy'}">
        ${date.formattedDate}
    </sly>

    We have a new article that shows use of displaying a DATE value in HTL -- also Sling Model and Coral 3 Multi-Field - https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/multifield_coral_aem63.html

          HI,

          Yes,DOE value is storing under content node.

          On page :: trying to get value from  ${'YYYY-MM-DD' @ format=properties.doe,type='datetime'}

            \

          After updating to datetime, did you save the datetime value from dialog. -- Saving in dialog means value node?

          You are sharing the component node screenshot.

          I am asking about the /content where the component is created.

          After updating to datetime, did you save the datetime value from dialog.

          If yes what do you see exactly on your page, can you add screenshot.

          Which version of AEM are you using. I tested this on AEM 6.3
