Proposal

As an User of the API it is often necessary to know if an attribute has a default value. Currently there is only documented if it is a requiered attribute

e.g. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/projects.html#list-all-projects first table:

Attribute Type Required Description
archived boolean no Limit by archived status
visibility string no Limit by visibility public, internal, or private
...

should look something like:

Attribute Type Required Default Value Description
archived boolean no < to be filled > Limit by archived status
visibility string no < to be filled > Limit by visibility public, internal, or private
...
