Use of the php function addslashes({FreeTextItemName}) in a hidden Equation Item under Advanced Options is a solution if you want to coerce the inputted text from a Free Text item to a string.
Use the processed expression in a question group separate from the original free text item, and put the equation item at the end of the question group of the original free text item.
The coercion is a basic consequence of the use of a PHP call just like echoing the content of a variable to a html body text.
