appsmith: [Bug] TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'parsed')

Here, props.options value becomes string somehow. Since the map method isn’t available for a string, the defaultSelectedValuesValidation() function exits without returning the expected ValidationResponse. This is the root cause of this issue.

Solutions:

1. Handle the case when props.options becomes string inside defaultSelectedValuesValidation() function.
2. Add ability to mark options as a dependency to defaultSelectedValues so that the defaultSelectedValuesValidation() will be called only after evaluating options. The result is that props.options inside defaultSelectedValuesValidation() will always be an array.

I think we should go ahead with solution 2 since it is the generic solution.

Can we pick this on priority? We’re seeing this every day

@somangshu This should be a part of the stability improvement efforts which @aswathkk is helping with. #7678
