jQuery UI Datepicker - cannot change date format

Question

I'm using jQuery UI - v1.12.1 datepicker for an input field created dynamically, the datepicker is working but I cannot change the date format.

This is how I'm initializing the picker

$('body').on('focus',"#datepicker", function(){
    $(this).datepicker("option", "dateFormat", "yy-mm-dd");
});

Thanks in advance

Try this code ! It might help you!

$(document).ready(function () {
        $('body').on('focus', "#datepicker", function () {
            $("#datepicker").datepicker({ dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy' });
        });
    });
