handle redundant column/field names #80

Open RobLBaker opened 8 months ago

RobLBaker commented 8 months ago

Sometimes people will re-use the same column or field name across multiple data files (e.g. "scientificName"). Right now the summary tables assume that all column names are unique across all data files in a data package. This probably needs to be updated/fixed likely this will require:

1) more user input? 2) updating the relevant functions, not just the DRR template.
