Description

Description

I am filing this issue to track the discussion which took place in another issue for swift4: #6641

The request was to have a default value '=nil' in the additional initializer for swift4-generated models. Example:

public init(foo: String?=nil, bar: String?=nil) {
        self.foo = foo
        self.bar = bar
}

Research direction
Look at the discussion in issue #6641 for context. The change involves modifying the Swift4 model template (likely in modules/swagger codegen/src/main/resources/swift4/Model.mustache) to add default value '=nil' for optional parameters in initializers. Ensure the modification aligns with the existing Swift4 generator logic.
