Default values for a checkbox question

The default settings of your project do not let you split mulitselect questions in case exports. This is because your case does not know which questions correspond with which case properties (because it could be multiple questions).

However, we do have a feature preview that you can enable on your project that will allow you to define how you would like to split your case property in a case export.

You can enable this setting by going to https://www.commcarehq.org/a/your_domain/settings/project/previews/ and checking the "Split multi-selects in case export" option. Then hit Update Previews.

When that is enabled you should see an extra column in your export that will allow you to select the Type. Here you select "multiselect." Then you can add your options. Example below:

Great question! You seem like a swell dude.

The main difference between a calculate condition and default value is when the calculation will occur. Specifically, a default value will only be set once immediately upon opening the form. This is used primarily to load static values like case and session properties into the form.

Meanwhile, a calculate condition will fire multiple times during form entry (including at completion) so that its value always reflects the current state of the form accurately. This should be used for most purposes as calculates will be re-calculated based on answers given in the form.
