Right. I need to give this more thought. The modify-by-reference aspect can sometimes be fantastic but other times a challenge. Thanks for pointing it out.
By the way, I've been really impressed with all your work on tidytable
. I think a lot of people find it really helpful.
Thanks, I appreciate it. Slowly but surely it's getting there
Thanks, this is old but it was fixed previously. Closing now.
Found a couple issues with
dt_fill()
.I started to fix the renaming and reordering issues when I ran into the dropping issue.
The dropping issue is an interesting one as using this fix...
leads to a modify-by-reference of the original data.table.
I'm guessing the current method was used to avoid modify-by-reference so I didn't make a pull request - I wasn't sure how you'd want to deal with that part
