This is related to #162. The support for swimlanes, as implemented in #164 missed the ability to get/set the project's default swimlane. In the GUI, this is a little star to indicate which swimlane new stories will be assigned to by default.
Use cases
Users may wish to mark which swimlane is currently the default in the project, so that any new user stories default to being added to that particular swimlane.
In one of my projects, I have swimlanes based on weeks (in a semester). I have a script that runs in a cron each week and updates the default swimlane to the current week. This saves having to select the swimlane when manually adding new stories to the project via the UI.
Proposed Solution
Since default_swimlane is already a property of a Project, we just need to add it to the list of allowed params. Then you can read/write the property as normal:
print(project.default_swimlane) # prints a swimlane ID
# changes the default swimlane, based on a swimlane ID
project.default_swimlane = project.list_swimlanes()[0].id
project.update()
Alternate Proposals
It appears nothing makes use of patch() currently? This feature seems like it would be much better to just PATCH the single value instead of doing a full PUT of all attributes on the Project.
I think the proposed solution is currently the best. But I would recommend another, separate, PR that maybe caches the object's values and then when update() is called detects which values changed and performs a PATCH on just those values.
