Ionic 2 ion-datetime default value with FormBuilder

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

My form:

this.freeCalcForm = this.formBuilder.group({ partyADOB: ['Jan 1, 1980'], });

View:

<ion-datetime formControlName="partyADOB" required></ion-datetime>

image

If I console.log the form the value of the partyADOB is set fine.
