Constant to be used when the type of a variable needs to be specified.
The default value of the variable.
It is interpreted as a JS expression.
For form variables ,setting this property requires the form instances to be destroyed (history.remove("formName")).
If you want to use a default value for a newly created variable create the variable using the 3 parameter version newVariable(name,type,defaultValue).
For INTEGER variables it can be an integer constant, like 10 for example.
For NUMBER variables it can be a real constant, like 22.41. For DATETIME
variables it can be "now", or a JS expression like "new Date()". For TEXT
variables it can be any string surrounded with quotes, like "'some text'".
