I need to pipe some text from a previous question into an essay text box question input area and am having a hard time getting it to show up. I know the piped text is correct because I have tested it outside of the essay box question in the same section. Are there restrictions on doing this?
Solved
Add Piped Text either as a question or embedded data to Essay box question?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. But if you are looking for "pre-populate" the text box with some text. Then default choices is the way to go.
See this demo. It adds the city to text box.

I realize that what I am trying to do might sound counterproductive and I could do this a different way, but its a bit of a unique case scenario where people will sometimes need to copy/paste some information from that box until I get a better API solution.
