To Reproduce

Create a custom default content type:

	"frontMatter.taxonomy.contentTypes": [
			{
			  "name": "default",
			  "pageBundle": false,
			  "fields": [
				{
				  "title": "Title",
				  "name": "title",
				  "type": "string",
				  "single": true,
				},
				{
				  "title": "Is in draft",
				  "name": "draft",
				  "type": "draft",
				  "default": true
				}
			  ]
			}
		  ],

In the problems section of visual studio code, this message appear:

Incorrect type. Expected "string".

The message concern the default value of field "draft", which is a boolean.

Furthermore, If the default value is set to "false", it is equivalent to true in Front Matter. An empty default ("") is equivalent to false.

Expected behavior

There should be no issue with a default value with a type other than string.

And if string type is the only possibility, A default set to "false" should set the field to false.

Thanks @landure for opening this issue. The default field was indeed set to string in the schema. This just got fixed and another code fix as well. It will be available in version 7.1.0 and the latest beta.
