Description

We have a custom field defined like this:

"ushahidi:task-type" : {
  "name"    : "Task Type",
  "type"    : "select",
  "copy"    : true,
  "search"  : true,
  "default" : "bug",
  "options" : {
    ""          : "None",
    "bug"       : "Bug",
    "feature"   : "Feature",
    "design"    : "Design/UI",
    "faq"       : "Question",
    "doc"       : "Documentation",
    "milestone" : "Milestone"
  }
},

But when I create a new task without changing the Task Type field, no Task Type appears, even though the default is "Bug".

This no longer reproduces for me at HEAD in EditEngine (see T9905), although I can't immediately reproduce it in the old editor either. Since it seems like it got fixed somewhere I'm not going to worry about it too much.
