 ### Changed
 - Map attributes will now always resolve to least an empty object on a `create` and `put` methods (instead of just the root map)
-- In the past, default values for property attributes on maps only resolves when a user provided an object to place the values on. Now default values within maps attributes will now always resolve onto the object on `create` and `put` methods.
