For the handling of optional args, as long as you include the arg in your arguments it should work. Do you have a "failed" transaction for me to look at?

the funny thing is, when i try to deploy the contract, im not sure if im hitting it, because once it deploys and i launch the react, it is still utilizing the egld instead of the token i though i was able to provide as an argument: 1) example: erdpy contract deploy Found extra arguments in erdpy.json.
