Default values (defaults)
Description
This lets you set the default values for some list question type, multiple choice question types and text question type (New in 1.92 ) .
Valid values
- For single choice questions, you will see drop-down boxes letting you select the desired default.
- For multi choice questions, you will see check boxs letting you select the desired default state (checked or not-checked).
- For text-entry questions (New in 1.92 ), you will have a text entry field in which you can enter any string or expression. If you use an expression, you need to include curly braces.
Example
- You have a non-anonymous survey, where {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1} is the person's age as of the time the tokens table was created. You want to prefill a question with the person's age and ask them to validate that the age is accurate, or let them change the age value if it is not accurate. In the text entry field for the default value, you would enter {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}
Caution with default value and hidden question
- If you have hidden question with default value, this default value is set only when the user come to the step of this question. This mean that if whole group his hidden, then no default value is set, or if you are in question by question mode, no default value is set.
- For hidden question, an alternative solution can be used Expression manager with assignment operator.
