update_metadata {projects}

Update the project metadata

Description

Safely updates existing project metadata to be compatible with projects 1.X.X.

Usage

update_metadata(ask = TRUE)

Arguments

ask

Logical, indicating whether or not the user would be asked at the command line whether or not to proceed. Defaults to TRUE.

Details

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 ids 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.
