Description

Environment

Vuetify Version: 3.8.12 Vue Version: 3.5.13 Browsers: Chrome 137.0.0.0 OS: Windows 10

Steps to reproduce

  1. In the createVuetify config, provide defaults properties (eg. prepend-icon, closable) for a nested component (eg. VChip), in the context of another component (eg. VSelect).
  2. Use overridden component (eg. VSelect) into templates.

Expected Behavior

All defaults properties for nested component should be taken into account. In the provided reproduction link the closable property is not taken into account, whereas the prepend-icon one is.

Actual Behavior

Only a part of defaults properties for nested component are taken into account.

Contributor guide

Research direction
The bug is that when setting defaults in createVuetify for nested components like VChip inside VSelect, only some properties (e.g., prepend icon) are applied but not others (e.g., closable). Investigate Vuetify's defaults merging logic in the source code, likely in files related to component defaults (e.g., src/framework/src/util/defaults.ts). Check how nested component contexts (e.g., VSelect's children like VChip) retrieve and merge defaults. The reproduction link provides a minimal example that can be debugged by stepping through the defaults resolution during component creation.
