ADLB variables not available in nested freq

[AARON-CLARK]

Specifically, looking to get freqs of ANRIND for each paramcd.

@AARON-CLARK is there a reason we aren't included all factor/character fields from ADLB (if included in the datafile)?

Not that I know of (or can recall) at the moment.

@AARON-CLARK & @Jeff-Thompson12 :

It looks like the code does not currently allow Nested Frequency for BDS variables. I get an error when I try it: "Can't calculate Distinct Frequency for for BDS variables":

The error comes from app_nested_freq.BDS():

https://github.com/Biogen-Inc/tidyCDISC/blob/5bde4910e10d79d83368e82f5da27b1b171f6fbc/R/mod_tableGen_fct_nested_freq.R#L294-L298

Should app_nested_freq.BDS() instead use just app_nested_freq.default()? Is there a reason why BDS datasets should be treated differently for this stat?

@Jeff-Thompson12, in hindsight, this issue doesn't really make sense. BDS data is full of parameters that are displayed on the left hand side as seen below.

So, it doesn't make sense to add "ALB" into the dropzone, because those are quantitative AVALs, not categorical values to use for frequencies.

I think this issue can be closed, unless you have any comments/insight into what I was trying to do last year?

[AARON-CLARK]

We discussed on 1/6 that we'll investigate with a PR. Aaron just gave a bad example above, but we want to explore including more than just ADSL and ADAE categorical variables in the dropdown, if present.
