defaultDate and minDate with Bootstrap Datetimepicker

Question

I want a picker to be set to a month in the future by default. This works fine:

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(function () {
    $('#enddatepicker').datetimepicker({
      defaultDate: moment().add(1, 'M').toDate(),
      locale: 'de',
      format: 'DD.MM.YYYY'
    });
  });
</script>

However, I also want the date to be not before tomorrow. So I try adding a minDate option:

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(function () {
    $('#enddatepicker').datetimepicker({
      minDate: moment().add(1, 'd').toDate(),
      defaultDate: moment().add(1, 'M').toDate(),
      locale: 'de',
      format: 'DD.MM.YYYY'
    });
  });
</script>

However, now the default date is set to minDate (that is, tomorrow). Can I set a default date independently from the minimum date?

Looking at the code on GitHub (line 1674) if you set the option useCurrent to false, your default may not be overridden:

 <script type="text/javascript">
   $(function () {
     $('#enddatepicker').datetimepicker({
       useCurrent: false,
       minDate: moment().add(1, 'd').toDate(),
       defaultDate: moment().add(1, 'M').toDate(),
       locale: 'de',
       format: 'DD.MM.YYYY'
     });
   });
 </script>

I would raise an issue in github for this, as minDate should not override defaultDate. In the mean-time, all you can do is set the value explicitly:

$(function () {
    $('#enddatepicker').datetimepicker({
         minDate: moment().add(1, 'd').toDate(),
         locale: 'de',
         format: 'DD.MM.YYYY'
    });
     $('#enddatepicker').val(moment().add(1, 'M').format('DD.MM.YYYY'));
});

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="demo col-xs-6">
       <input class="form-control" id="enddatepicker"/>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Try with Start Date property, after checked my jquery i found that has not minDate parameter but startDate parameter to handle minDate.it will work for you.

startDate :new Date(),
