Reopen as changes on setting defaults seems to work with custom components.

@aheinze , when you can, kindly confirm if that make sense, I'm working in an implementation that uses custom components and having defaults (checkboxes, dropdowns, etc..) is mandatory. Tbh not sure why defaults work on collections but not on custom components, but forcing the verification and update on each field seems to solve it.

I need some time to figure this out. A generic solution for ALL fields would be cool. maybe extend/improve the cp-field component 🤔

[pauloamgomes]

@aheinze , after all after checking in more detail think that can be solved on the field-layout:

right now you have (field-layout.tag line 384):

item.settings[field.name] = field.default || null;

but it should be instead

item.settings[field.name] = field.options.default || null;

Since any definition on custom components are passed as field.options, updated the PR to reflect that change, please let me know if that way it works

awesome find! thank you!
