How to set Default answer using a string

Hi everyone, i would like to ask if there is a code on how to set the
default answer of a question in odk.The default answer is from the answer
of the previous question.
Example;

  1. What is the last name of household head?
    Ans:lucero

  2. What is the last name of household member 1?
    Ans: lucero(default answer from question 1)

Please help me. Thank you.

Hi Ronaldo,

Data from previous answers (say Q1) can be used in the same form as
output, but you shouldn't use it to pre-fill a future answer (say Q2)
because the user entered value in Q2 will eventually be replaced if
the user (or app) ever touches the Q1 question.

Dear Yaw,

I'm trying to do exactly what you propose in your scenario, using ${var} in default and 'yes'in read only. However, I do not manage to pull the data (eg. string), instead the answer is exactly ${var}. Any suggestions? What i am trying to do here is to get HH information repeated in a repeat group as for the data to appear as answers in the repeat group.

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Genevieve

Hi Genevieve,

If this is still a problem you are having, can you post a small 1-3
question form that shows what you are trying to do and the problem you
have?

Thanks,

Yaw
