  datalist,
  db_folder,
  codebook_name,
  required_only = TRUE,
  crop_types = NULL
)

Arguments

datalist

A list of dataframes with columns that match codebook variables

db_folder

codebook_name

A string denoting the book name. Use list_db_books() to see options

required_only

A logical, FALSE returns all columns; TRUE returns required columns only

crop_types

A vector containing the crop_types. This is used to select the appropriate traits if codebook_name == "trial_data"

Value

Returns a list of integer vectors with the same list names as datalist.
