iecodebook: notes tab #118

Closed luizaandrade closed 4 years ago

luizaandrade commented 5 years ago

A tab to add notes to variables in apply/template, and a column in export

bbdaniels commented 5 years ago

What if I replaced the title of "type" with this? It's not functional anyway for changing the type due to the complexity of recast

luizaandrade commented 5 years ago

Not sure I get that. I think the "type" column is useful so you at least know what you need to destring or encode. "notes" would just include things such as the original question phrasing and possible references to construction details.

bbdaniels commented 5 years ago

for every dataset or just for the final one?

luizaandrade commented 4 years ago

I think this is useful in all datasets as a way to include metadata on each variable.
