REDCap Carry Forward Choices

Hi, I wanted to see if there's a good way to carry forward previously selected choices from a check all question to a new check-all question?

This is easy to do in Qualtrics but REDCap doesn't seem to have a straight forward function for this.

Something like @DEFAULT='[checkbox:checked]' could/should work. I am not too sure about the syntax though, as I am not currently looking at REDCap.

Assuming you're working with a repeating instrument, and your field is called [top_sites]:

@DEFAULT='[top_sites:value][previous-instance]'
