 By default, the synopsis of a command with subcommands shows a trailing `[COMMAND]`, indicating that a subcommand can optionally be specified.
 To show that the subcommand is mandatory, use the `synopsisSubcommandLabel` attribute to replace this string with `COMMAND` (without the `[` and `]` brackets).
 
+=== Subcommands and default values
+
+There are some scenarios where picocli can not parse an option with a default value which is the same as a subcommand name. To work around this, you can parse the option yourself using <<Custom Parameter Processing,`IParameterConsumer`>>. A simple implementation is shown below. See https://github.com/remkop/picocli/issues/1428[this issue] for more details.

 == Reuse
 You may find yourself defining the same options, parameters or command attributes in many command line applications.
