update_data_col_names function

Correctly label variables belonging to checkboxes with minus signs

Using db_data and db_metadata, temporarily create a conversion column that reverts automatic REDCap behavior where database column names have "-"s converted to "_"s.

update_data_col_names(db_data, db_metadata)

Arguments

• db_data: The REDCap database output defined by REDCapR::redcap_read_oneshot()$data
• db_metadata: The REDCap metadata output defined by REDCapR::redcap_metadata_read()$data

Returns

Updated db_data column names for checkboxes where "-"s were replaced by "_"s.

Details

This is an issue with checkbox fields since analysts should be able to verify checkbox variable suffices with their label counterparts.
