In wireframes, include option to *not* convert to snake case for metadata extraction #163

Open lwjohnst86 opened 7 months ago

lwjohnst86 commented 7 months ago

When they upload the csv file to extract the metadata, the extract metadata columns should be converted to snakecase. So maybe we have two columns, one for the original column names and the other for the converted names? And have an option to not convert them?

Snake case is the way of naming variables/columns in data and in programming languages. It is in the form of snake_case or this_is_the_name, where everything is lowercase and a _ replaces spaces.

There should be two columns then:

Original Column Name Converted (or new) Column Name
Age at visit age_at_visit

Something along these lines @lwjohnst86 ? :) I was unsure whether I should keep the "Title" column as well.

@henrik-goul Mmm, more like, a "global" option to say "convert or not". But, we're actively discussing how this should look like, so maybe hold off on doing any work on it.

@lwjohnst86 Thanks for reviewing. Alright, I will hold off a little bit on this. Let me know whenever you want me to chime in again :)
