How do I set a datePicker's min and max to only apply when editing?

Question

I have a compact date picker that gets its date from an api. This date can be anywhere in time (no restrictions) I then set that date to the datePicker. All works fine.

I want to allow the user to accurately view the date the compact datepicker is displaying (the date that has come down from the api) then tap on this compact date picker to edit the date. However, I don't want them picking any date from the past. So I set min date to Date() (the current date)

Issue: By doing this, if the date coming from the api is in the past, it will not display that date. It will instead display todays date. (the current date)

So Question: How do I continue to allow the date picker to display a date from the past, but not allow the user to manually change it to a date in the past?
