Error when updating a string attribute using dart sdk

AppwriteException: general_argument_invalid, Param "default" is not optional. (400)

TL;DR

Error occurs when attempting to update a string attribute's default value in Dart SDK due to the value being required, not allowing it to be set to null. To solve this, the `xdefault` parameter should be handled differently when `attributeA.required` is true to avoid setting it to null, which results in an error.

cc: @D5 We are using dart-sdk for performing this sync

Here is a code snippet for the same:

TypeScript

await dest.databases.updateStringAttribute(
  databaseId: databaseId,
  collectionId: collectionId,
  key: attributeA.key,
  size: attributeA.size!,
  xrequired: attributeA.required,
  xdefault:
      attributeA.required ? null : (attributeA.defaultValue ?? ''),
);

if I write the xdefault part like this:

TypeScript

xdefault: attributeA.defaultValue ?? '',

I get this error: AppwriteException: attribute_default_unsupported, Cannot set default value for required attribute (400)

Hmm I think it can't be nul as it needs to be true or false?
