Allow user to give their own list of auto-categorisations #68

Closed RayStick closed 4 months ago

RayStick commented 6 months ago

There will be some auto categorisations that are relevant to all
Some research studies may already know enough about the variables to have specific auto categorisations
- Therefore, allow the auto categorisations to be given as an optional input file

Suggested steps:

Create a data dictionary that pairs 'variable name' to categorisation number
Read in this data dictionary within the domain_mapping code
Include in the docs how a user can make changes/use their own dictionary that pairs names to categories
