Default 'null' value is not applied to a field with type ["null", "object"]

Prerequisites

• I have read the documentation;
• In the case of a bug report, I understand that providing a SSCCE example is tremendously useful to the maintainers.
• I’m providing a shared playground link demonstrating the issue.

Description

Default ‘null’ value is not applied to a field with type [“null”, “object”]

Steps to Reproduce

GIVEN: a property of type ["null", "object"] AND default value is null AND ui:emptyValue = null See shared playground link

Expected behavior

default value is null

Actual behavior

default value is an empty object {} both default and ui:emptyValue values are ignored for an object property.

Version

Version of the playground. I guess, current latest stable

Note: It works fine for ["null", "string"] and ["null", "number"] types.

Any updates on this ?

Another year, another person asking if there are any updates.

Another year, no one actually willing to contribute a PR to fix it. Is anyone willing to take the time to do so? 😉
