Default values in navigation blueprints don't save

[robdekort]

Bug description

When you edit your navigation blueprint and set default values for certain fields, they don't save. So this example:

Will save like this:

  -
    id: ab914f41-c4d2-4ecc-9f76-5a324347a6a1
    title: Hey

It should be:

  -
    id: ab914f41-c4d2-4ecc-9f76-5a324347a6a1
    title: Hey
    data:
      select: jack
      down_under: yeah_nah
      addon_devs: sleight
      toggle: true

There might be more fields (or simply all) where this happens with, but these are the one I've noticed this behaviour for over time. This behaviour is unwanted when you expect data to be there. A workaround is not to set a default and make the field required.

How to reproduce

Thy this navigation blueprint and add an entry and save it (without touching the fields):

tabs:
  main:
    display: Main
    sections:
      -
        display: General
        fields:
          -
            handle: select
            field:
              options:
                jack: Jack
                jason: Jason
                jesse: Jesse
                joshua: Joshua

                nah_yeah: 'Nah yeah'
              default: yeah_nah

              inline: false
              cast_booleans: false
              default: sleight
              type: radio
              display: 'Addon devs'
              listable: hidden
              instructions_position: above
              visibility: visible
              replicator_preview: true
              hide_display: false
          -
            handle: toggle
            field:
              inline_label: 'Save me!'
              default: true
              type: toggle
              display: Toggle
              listable: hidden
              instructions_position: above
              visibility: visible

The fact the default values aren't being saved to the YAML file here won't be such a big deal in Statamic 5 since they'll automatically pull through in templates (or anywhere else augmentation happens) if no value is set. See #9010.

True but it's still weird that they don't get saved. They should.
