Safely updates existing project metadata to be compatible with
projects
1.X.X.
update_metadata(ask = TRUE)
Logical, indicating whether or not the user would be asked at the
command line whether or not to proceed. Defaults to TRUE
.
Prior to projects
1.X.X, the stage
,
current_owner
, corresp_auth
, and creator
columns of the
projects()
table were different.
The stage
column was a factor, and users had to type stage
names exactly, down to the integer, colon, and space. Now, this column is of
class projects_stage-class
.
The latter three columns were integers corresponding to id
s in the
authors()
table, so users would have to query that table if
they did not remember which author was denoted by the integer id
.
