    This bugfix was meant to be in #25685, but decoupled it to try to make it part of 24.0 release. It’s a truly misleading functionality.

    This PR doesn’t change behavior in any way. Just fixes two invalid RPC help messages and adds test coverage for the current behavior.

    Description

    In both RPC commands send() and walletcreatefundedpsbt the help message says that add_inputs default value is false when it’s actually dynamically set by the following statement:

    0coin_control.m_allow_other_inputs = rawTx.vin.size() == 0;

    Which means that, by default, add_inputs is true unless there is any pre-set input, in which case, the default is false.

    I appreciated how well your test was commented. That really helps someone new like me read whats going on.

    Thanks MarkoFalke, feedback tackled.

    Changed RPCArg::Default to RPCArg::DefaultHint.

    ACK 1350349f5951a4e1fdc7d92018cb5be6c014e99a. Verified that m_allow_other_inputs is overridden when inputs are passed.

    nit if you retouch: use .empty() instead of .size() == 0. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/d33871288636d9e4cdde2e1430de1f4223e2dd3f/src/wallet/rpc/spend.cpp#L1228

    Verified that the new help text is consistent with the behaviour. I agree that the new help text is less confusing.

    I think it would be useful to have a case for having both add_inputs=true and preset inputs.

  17. RPC: bugfix, 'add_inputs' default value is true unless 'inputs' are provided 
    In both RPC commands `send()` and `walletcreatefundedpsbt` the RPC help was saying
that `add_inputs` default value was false when it's actually dynamically set
by the following statement:

`coin_control.m_allow_other_inputs = rawTx.vin.size() == 0;`

Which means that, by default, `add_inputs` is true unless there
was any pre-set input, in which case, the default is false.

    Thanks achow101, feedback tackled (and a bit more).

    Added two new test scenarios:

    1. Explicit add_inputs=true and preset inputs (with preset inputs not-covering the target amount).        Expect: include inputs from the wallet.

    2. Explicit add_inputs=true and preset inputs (with preset inputs covering the target amount).        Expect: only preset inputs are used.

  21. test: add coverage for 'add_inputs' dynamic default value 
    Covered cases for send() and walletcreatefundedpsbt() RPC commands:

1. Default add_inputs value with no preset inputs (add_inputs=true):
       Expect: automatically add coins from the wallet to the tx.

2. Default add_inputs value with preset inputs (add_inputs=false):
       Expect: disallow automatic coin selection.

3. Explicit add_inputs=true and preset inputs (with preset inputs not-covering the target amount).
       Expect: include inputs from the wallet.

4. Explicit add_inputs=true and preset inputs (with preset inputs covering the target amount).
       Expect: only preset inputs are used.

5. Explicit add_inputs=true, no preset inputs (same as (1) but with an explicit set):
       Expect: include inputs from the wallet.
