Ionic Framework Version

v8.x

Current Behavior

Using Ionic/Vue 8.2.3,

<ion-datetime :show-default-buttons="true" v-model="src.txt" @ionChange="onUpdate()"></ion-datetime>

when src.txtis an empty string, the default date is "May 2021", no day selected.

Expected Behavior

I would recommend, to set the default month, year to the actual date (in the moment like "June 2024").

Steps to Reproduce

Open an ion-datetime control with an empty string as value.
