in data_dict: othermedraae is Text/Number; suggest changing #4
Description
othermedraae is medical side effects. I believe that they are some kind of medical ontology codes. But they are NOT really numbers.
However, I can see the need to validate them as if they are numbers in the redcap form to prevent people from including garbage text characters (13 H anybody?).
I suggest setting them to something like integer rather than number.
This helps by:
- keeping the form validation able to screen out letters and symbols
- allowing us to detect that they should not be represented by floating point numbers
Discuss.
