If you are working in the item view, i.e item.php, then it should be like this:

<?php echo JHtml::date($this->item->extraFields->EventStartDate->value , 'Ymd');?>

It starts with $this not $item

Where is this happening in your template?

I tried

<?php echo JHtml::date($this->item->extraFields->datef->value , 'Y m d');?>

i

in item.php and it seemed to work fine under Joomla! 3.2 / K2 2.6.8 (Dev Build)

This code shows for me the current date in "2014-03-20" format and not the date stored in database. Anybody knows why?????

Sorry....

You're right, the code should be:

getk2.org/community/English-K2-Community/170475-FIXED-DateTime__construct-datetime--construct-#184729



But still the same error, the part of: administrator\components\com_k2\views\item\view.html.php  I think it have changed in some release...
