[QTI] RE: v2 import of template values

[Steve Lay]

I believe you can do this at the assessment level through the setting of 
defaults.  You can only set values at an early time in the presentation 
cycle, i.e., before the initial processing has taken place.

So you have an element called templateDefault in assessmentItemRef:

Contains : templateDefault [*]
A template default is used to alter the default value of a template 
variable declared by the item based on an expression evaluated at 
test-level. See templateDefault for more information.
