The list below shows some of the capabilities of the expressions for default values to Headers in OpenGround Cloud Data Collector

Expression	Explaination
'B'	Set the default value to B – works well for pick list items.
Today()	Today’s Date with time set to midnight for a date time field
Now()	Today’s Date and Time.
Count()+1	Number of records so far for this parent + 1. Useful for sample reference numbers etc
min('DepthTop')	Minimum value of previous records for this parent. Header name is case sensitive and must be enclosed in single quotes. Records are ordered by the Header by default.
max('DepthBase')	Maximum value of previous records for this parent. Header name is case sensitive and must be enclosed in single quotes. Records are ordered by the Header by default. Works well to set the top of a layer equal to the base of the last layer.
previous('DepthBase')	The previous value used for this when the records are ordered by depth fields.
[LocationDetails.DateStart]	Inserts a value from the parent record as the default. The Start Date will be the default value in this example.
previous('DepthBase', 'DepthTop')	The previous value used for this when the records are ordered by DepthTop.
