 As most of the tests use the same test and python versions, and similar markers, there are two levels of defaults. There's a default at test type level which is useful for defining test markers - this selects certain pytests to run in `model-config-tests`. There is an outer global default, which is used if a property is not defined for a given branch/tag, and it is not defined for the test default. The `parse-ci-config` action applies the fall-back default logic. For more information on using this action see [`ACCESS-NRI/model-config-tests`](https://github.com/ACCESS-NRI/model-config-tests/).
