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'".{div}{td}{tr}{tr:id=ret}{td}*Returns*\\{div:class=sIndent}[String]{div}{td}{tr}{tr:id=sam}{td}*Sample*\\{div:class=sIndent}{code:language=javascript}
