Sorry, then, that I can't be of any help here. I have no idea when, how,
or by what that expression of yours is being evaluated. I just tried
another few tests here, and whatever I put in the default column for a *text
*field is treated as a literal. Thus, line breaks are no problem, but
getting concat() or field references to evaluate is a problem.

Actually, Chris, the calculated values work fine, my only issue are the
line breaks.

Nik,
I believe that you can only include static text or numbers within default
values -- so it would seem that your bigger issue is including the
calculated field values, not the line breaks.
This is actually something we've been working on for our next SurveyCTO
release: adding support for calculated field defaults (which, in turn,
allows for pulling field defaults from pre-loaded .csv files). Essentially,
we left the existing default behavior alone (static defaults that are
loaded with the form), then added support for expressions in the
calculation column of text, numeric, and other UI fields to specify the
default. In the case where such an expression is specified, it is evaluated
the first time the field is displayed (which is generally what you want).
Best,
Chris

I am trying to generate a multi-line string as default value for a text
type node but neither of the following works:
concat('line1: ', ${calc1}, '
', 'line2: ', ${calc2}, '
',
'line3: ', ${calc3})
concat('line1: ', ${calc1},
, 'line2: ', ${calc2},
, 'line3:
', ${calc3})
concat('line1: ', ${calc1}, '
', 'line2: ', ${calc2}, '
', 'line3: ', ${calc3})
I am trying to produce something like this (or see attached screenshot):
line1: 99
line2: 99
line3: 99
Is there a way to insert line breaks dynamically?
