[Feature Request]: Variable view as in SPSS #2799

Open iGrzegorz opened 4 months ago

iGrzegorz commented 4 months ago

Description

Add another tab than DATA and ANALYSIS allowing to quickly scrub through large datasets and edit variables quicker

Purpose

improve workflow

Use-case

large datasets

Is your feature request related to a problem?

No response

Is your feature request related to a JASP module?

Unrelated

Describe the solution you would like

To have a tab simillar to the one on a screenshot attached in SPSS, it allow quick overview and finding and quickly editing a variable in large datasets (for example changing from nominal to scale)

Describe alternatives that you have considered

SPSS

Additional context

There are only two features left that SPSS is better than JASP in my opinion - one it is computing variables, the other one is browsing through variables in large datasets - the variables tab as in SPS would really easy our lives here.

@iGrzegorz Thx for the request! Since version 0.19 of JASP there is this new feature called "type casting", see https://jasp-stats.org/2024/07/22/introducing-jasp-0-19-raincloud-plots-bayesian-process-analysis-type-casting-and-more/

And also since 0.19 we have:

Thus there (most of the time) should be no need anymore to change the scale of any item/variable, because JASP will dynamically do that for you as needed, and also will indicate, that it has done so through a *

But surely there might be other use cases, where you might want a variable view like in SPSS. Maybe you can help me out here and describe what those could be? E.g. it would be cool to see the long descriptions of all variables at once. But I am sure you can think of more! Such a list would help us in designing such a "variable view".
