Issue

When a product is created via an import script or the REST API, attributes that use the \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\Backend\ArrayBackend backend model and have a default value are not assigned the default value.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a new global attribute that uses the \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\Backend\ArrayBackend backend model and a non-empty default value.
  2. Use the REST API to create a new product.
  3. Fetch that new product from the REST API and confirm that the attribute is not present in the product’s custom attributes.

Expected results:

The custom attribute default value was saved to the product attribute.

Actual results:

The custom attribute default value was not saved to the product attribute.
