Add a property to an Entity List.

Usage

entitylist_property_create(
  pid = get_default_pid(),
  did = "",
  property = "",
  url = get_default_url(),
  un = get_default_un(),
  pw = get_default_pw(),
  retries = get_retries(),
  odkc_version = get_default_odkc_version(),
  orders = get_default_orders(),
  tz = get_default_tz()
)

Arguments

pid

The numeric ID of the project, e.g.: 2.

Default: get_default_pid.

Set default pid through ru_setup(pid="...").

See vignette("Setup", package = "ruODK").

did

(chr) The name of the Entity List, internally called Dataset. The function will error if this parameter is not given. Default: "".

property

(character) The desired name of the Property.

url

The ODK Central base URL without trailing slash.

Default: get_default_url.

Set default url through ru_setup(url="...").

See vignette("Setup", package = "ruODK").

un

The ODK Central username (an email address). Default: get_default_un. Set default un through ru_setup(un="..."). See vignette("Setup", package = "ruODK").

pw

The ODK Central password. Default: get_default_pw. Set default pw through ru_setup(pw="..."). See vignette("Setup", package = "ruODK").

retries

The number of attempts to retrieve a web resource.

This parameter is given to RETRY(times = retries).

Default: 3.

odkc_version

The ODK Central version as a semantic version string (year.minor.patch), e.g. "2023.5.1". The version is shown on ODK Central's version page /version.txt. Discard the "v". ruODK uses this parameter to adjust for breaking changes in ODK Central.

Default: get_default_odkc_version or "2023.5.1" if unset.

Set default get_default_odkc_version through ru_setup(odkc_version="2023.5.1").

See vignette("Setup", package = "ruODK").

orders

(vector of character) Orders of datetime elements for lubridate.

Default: c("YmdHMS", "YmdHMSz", "Ymd HMS", "Ymd HMSz", "Ymd", "ymd").

tz

A timezone to convert dates and times to.

Read vignette("setup", package = "ruODK") to learn how ruODK's timezone can be set globally or per function.

Value

A list with a single element success (TRUE) as per the ODK Central API docs.

Details

Creates a new Property with a specified name in the Dataset. The name of a Property is case-sensitive in that it will keep the capitalization provided (e.g. "Firstname"). But Central will not allow another Property with the same name but different capitalization to be created (e.g. "FIRSTNAME" when "Firstname" already exists). Property names follow the same rules as form field names (valid XML identifiers) and cannot use the reserved names of name or label, or begin with the reserved prefix __.
