Details

Assumes a check_installed() has been run for labelled. Since haven preserves the underlying data values we need to make sure the data type of the value options in the metadata matches the data type of the values in the actual data. This function accepts a prototype, usually a column from db_data, and uses force_cast() to do a best-effort casting of the value options in the metadata to the same data type as ptype. The fallback is to convert x and the value labels to character.
