Reading from pallet-parameters doesn't work with the default value.

As per for example:

The default values are specified in the code, and I would hope that they are somewhere present in the metadata. cc @ggwpz

I'll need to check this with the API itself and see if it poses issues from there as a sanity check.

Oh yeah, likely an api issue, not an apps one. Feel free to move to the other repo if need be.

I think this boils down to this issue: paritytech/polkadot-sdk#3238

The parameters storage map can only have one default for all keys - not one default per key.
And the scale-info type system does not seem to provide defaults for generic types either.
So either we change the metadata stuff or add a runtime API to query the params.

This is only at the metadata level right? In the runtime, we can indeed have a default per parameter item?

Yea, if you query them from within the runtime then it works. But from the outside this is not transparent.
