converting to .default() doesn't make sense

[qraxiss]

Describe the bug x.default() -> x?

i think it doesn't make sense, because default always defined

[mrjono1]

At the moment everything is default to optional, yes making this to required by default would be better.

as a workaround you can do 2 things use the defaultToRequired setting or .requried()

[qraxiss]

when i use .default().required(), field cannot empty

[mrjono1]

I think you need to set what the default value is
