As far as I can tell, when using 12-hour time period, like e.g. `D MMM YYYY h:mm A`, the `min` and `max` properties break; I’m not the first one staring this issue, since [https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/issues/21545](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/issues/21545) is about the same problem (includes a Stackblitz for demonstration).  
Already tried using different formats for the min/max properties, didn’t solved, also tried using moment.js to overcome it, didn’t helped …  
Any new idea for this problem? Am I missing something?

Booop, I’m using a angular component to overcome the problem, but the design clearly isn’t from a mobile app, anyone can notice it, I would really prefer to resolve the ionic datepicker problem, any ideas?
