How to make fmt:formatDate work for form:input
===

    
I have a jstl loop and I want to format the date of a form:input. I have tried many permutations of some of the suggestions that I've fond online but I just cannot get it to work.. Can someone please have a look?

I've included the full loop for context but the problem lies in the last `<td></td>` block. 


    <c:forEach items="${valueTransactionsModel.transactions}" var="transaction" varStatus="loopStatus">
        					
        					<tr class="${loopStatus.index % 2 == 0 ? 'even' : 'odd'}">
        						<spring:message code="valueTransactions.transactionType" var="transactionTypeLbl" />
        						<tags:dropdown id="transactionTypeId${loopStatus.index}" path="transactions['${loopStatus.index}'].valueTransactionType.id" 
        							fieldName="${transactionTypeLbl}" classStyle="mandatory" items="${transactionTypes}" itemLabel="value"/>
        					</tr>
        					<tr class="${loopStatus.index % 2 == 0 ? 'even' : 'odd'}">
        						<spring:message code="valueTransactions.transactionAmount" var="valueTransactionAmountLbl${loopStatus.index}" />
        						<tags:input id="transactionAmountId${loopStatus.index}" 
        							path="transactions['${loopStatus.index}'].valueTransactionAmount"
        							fieldName="valueTransactionAmountLbl${loopStatus.index}"
        							maxlength="30" classStyle="mandatory" />
        						<spring:message code="valueTransactions.transactionDate"
        							var="valueTransactionDateLbl${loopStatus.index}" />
        						<td>
        							<form:input type="text" path="transactions['${loopStatus.index}'].valueTransactionDate" cssClass="mandatory" value="<fmt:formatDate value="transactions['${loopStatus.index}'].valueTransactionDate"  type="date" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd"/>" />
        						</td>
        					</tr> 
        

				</c:forEach>

My most recent issue is:
