Use formula to set default value for String parameter?

What is the procedure to use a formula to set the default value for a String parameter to use in a SQL query? I can see formula options for the Date type, but not for the String type.
Thank you

Hi jeffadkisson,

what are you trying to achieve exactly? what is your use case?

Currently, formula is only supported for Date type.

Eduardo

We have some data that comes in from some IOT devices with IDs that are structured using date values, but the fields also include some text. For example, 2019_10_31_00_00_00_00_00_sensorID_sensorNode.
