Issue

Default values aren’t set for the date and time fields when creating products with the REST API: /rest/default/V1/products

Steps to reproduce:

Create a Product attribute, set its default value to 12/31/2020, and set the Catalog Input Type for Store Owner to Date or Date and Time.
Create another text type attribute and set the default value to test value.

Create a new product using a REST API POST request to /rest/all/V1/products/.

    {
        "product": {
            "sku": "testsku2",
            "name": "Test Api Product 2",
            "attribute_set_id": 4,
            "price": 100,
            "status": 1,
            "visibility": 4,
            "type_id": "simple",
            "weight": 20,
            "extension_attributes": {
                "website_ids": [
                    1
                ]
            }
        }
    }

Check the values saved for the attributes mentioned above.

Expected results:

The default value should be saved in Date/Datetime type attributes when creating a product using the API.

Actual results:

The default value is saved for the Text attribute but not for the Date type attribute. The value for the Date attribute is empty.
