From LimeSurvey Manual

  • For single choice questions, you will see drop-down boxes from where you can select the desired default value.
  • For multi-choice questions, you will see checkboxes from where you can select the desired default state (checked or not checked).
  • For text-entry questions, you will have a text entry field in which you can enter any string or expression. If you use an expression, curly brackets must be used.
  • For date-time questions, if you set a fixed value the format of the fixed value needs to be YYYY-MM-DD (for example: 2022-02-28). If you're using an expression to set a date, the format must be like date ('Y-m-d') or date ('Y-m-d H:s'). For example, if you want to set the current time as default in a date question with format HH:MM (hour and minute), you would have to use the full-time format in the default answer box: date ('Y-m-d H:s'). The format in the expression is independent of the format from the question settings.
