DATABASE: Consider renaming landclcd to cond_status_cd #286

Closed lbross closed 1 year ago

Need to evaluate where/how the fields are used in BioSum to determine scope. Landclcd is an artifact of legacy systems and is confusing for new users and those familiar with FIADB.

Landclcd is not used widely throughout BioSum. It is used when creating/populating the condition table and creating the FVSIn databases. Renaming it to cond_status_cd would not be difficult but does require version_control to update the field name in the master.mdb/cond table for existing projects. Cond_status_cd is used during the plot load process in work tables when calculating the adjustment factors. This would not change. I uploaded a document to box that describes the references to landclcd and the usage of cond_status_cd in the adjustment process. Holding on this for now because it is not critical path.

master.cond.landclcd field is correctly being renamed to cond_status_cd
