type_check error is not specific #15

Closed pbuendia closed 4 hours ago

pbuendia commented 5 hours ago

We wrongly thought this is the type_check error as the error is not specific: When a column has values looking like decimal values like the ICD9 identifiers, then the data dictionary is required to have Type= "decimal" although the identifiers are not decimals, they are strings. Can this be fixed?

That was not the issue! It does accept "string" just fine, but because the error is not specific we did not see it was because of a typo in another row.
