Describe the bug

When the DateInput property (minDate) is set to, for example, 2024-09-01, and the DateInput is controlled through the form but the date is undefined, I expect the calendar to automatically navigate to the correct month of the minDate. It can be confusing for the user when the min date is in the future (and the month is greyed out). Additionally, the defaultDate does not work properly when using the mantine/forms plugin.

If possible, include a link to a codesandbox with a minimal reproduction

No response

Possible fix

Start the default month (date) with the minDate given.
