I have a Marshmallow Schema defined as:

class MySchema: myfield = fields.Str(required=False, default=“value”)

When I do:

s = MySchema().load({})

I would expect the return to be: {‘myfield’:’value’}

But I am getting {} in return.

Is there anything am I missing?

Edit:

I’m using marshmallow 3.11 due to project limitations. I can’t upgrade to 3.15. Tried with 3.15 and it is working as expected.

Until marshmallow 3.12:

• default: value to use by default when dumping (serializing)
• missing: value to use by default when loading (deserializing)

Since marshmallow 3.13:

• dump_default: value to use by default when dumping (serializing)
• load_default: value to use by default when loading (deserializing)

default / missing still behave the same in marshmallow 3.13+ but issue a deprecation warning.
