@DanSheps commented on GitHub (Sep 5, 2023):

Turns out, the list was added wrong on my end my end as well, resulting in some of the problems. Updated to reflect the problem more specifically.

That said, there is an issue with the validation still of a default field. self.default and self.default not in self.choices: won't work

We could actually remove line 321 to 326 as that validation logic is also part of the default check at the top.
