Can't format default date parameter as yyyy-MM-dd [message #804591]

I want my parameter default to be the first day of this year so I put in the formula:

BirtDateTime.firstDayOfYear(BirtDateTime.today())

And I'd like the default to be displayed in yyyy-MM-dd format so the users know what format to enter.

However when I run the preview it shows the default as "Jan 1, 2012".

Here is a screen shot of my parameter settings, and a screen shot of the report:

i . imgur . com / Q47QZ.png

i . imgur . com / yyDJm.png

(I wanted to embed these images but the forum says I can't use links yet. Add http to the beginning of these and remove the spaces to get to the images.)
