Bootstrap3 DateTimePicker: minDate option set the input value field

Question

I have a problem where setting the minDate option set the input value field. Why??

(When I write this post, input date is after minDate)

Html:

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-12">
        <h6>datetimepicker</h6>
        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="datetimepicker" value="21/12/2016"/>
    </div>
</div>

Javascript:

$('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker({
    locale: 'fr',
    //minDate: moment(), If I uncomment it the input value field changes to current date
    format: 'DD/MM/YYYY'
});

Fiddle

You have to add the useCurrent option and set it to false.

Here a working example:

$('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker({
  locale: 'fr',
  minDate: moment(),
  useCurrent: false,
  format: 'DD/MM/YYYY'
});
