Hey @energee,

I believe this is happening because these lines are preventing this function from being called due to the predicate above it. I plan to have a PR out soon, hopefully by tonight. Seems I'm close to a fix.

Hey @energee,

Thanks for your patience - I have a PR up for this.

Hey @energee,

I've closed my PR as I'm no longer able to reproduce this issue in the monorepo as of beta.128. Try updating your Payload packages and test if you're still experiencing default values not populating?
