ValentineHerr commented 2 years ago

@VincyaneBadouard we need to be clear on what we want to work with (and be as up to date as possible if it evolves for one of us) on the data (and values) we want the RequiredFormat function to output, for you to use in your functions.

We will have to have a metadata file for it but I am starting something here as I am not sure about the best format. I'll fill it in as i explore your function, but feel free to help too.

I have updated your table directly in your comment

ValentineHerr commented 2 years ago

I don't what is best to look at... the table above, TmFO inventory form in google drive or what @VincyaneBadouard is using in her functions.... What ever it is, this file will have to be updated accordingly.
