Mysql2::Error: BLOB, TEXT, GEOMETRY or JSON column 'metadata' can't have a default value

I ran into this issue while running the migrations:

Mysql2::Error: BLOB, TEXT, GEOMETRY or JSON column 'metadata' can't have a default value

I'm running rails 8.0.1, mysql2 0.5.6 gem, and my local mysql is 8.4.4 for what I found from version 8.0.13 onwards

The BLOB, TEXT, GEOMETRY, and JSON data types can be assigned a default value only if the value is written as an expression, even if the expression value is a literal.

Could it be an issue with the mysql2 gem? Any pointers, can I just remove the default values from the migration?

Thanks!
