[BUG] targetDefaults in nx.json doesn't work

[maxisam]

Current Behavior

I am trying to use nx crystal in nx 18. I tried to add options in nx.json but it doesn't work. However, if I move the same options to project.json, it works fine. Not sure if this is a bug or I misunderstand how targetDefault works.

Expected Behavior

targetDefaults should work in nx.json as targets in project.json
