convert_checkbox_vals function

Convert a new checkbox column's values

This function takes a single column of data and converts the values based on the overall data tibble cross referenced with a nested section of the metadata tibble.

case_when logic helps determine whether the value is a coalesced singular value or a user-specified one via multi_value_label or values_fill.
