Flattens a single dropdownRange-type field value from an iDAI.field resource into a named list with two elements: <name>.start and <name>.end. If only the start value exists, both <name>.start and <name>.end are set to the start value.

Usage

handle_dropdownrange_input(dropdownRangeInput, name)

Arguments

dropdownRangeInput

The value of a single dropdownRange-type field from a resource, i.e. period from the default Configuration. Expects a list with at minimum a value element and optionally an endValue.

name

Character. The name of the field being processed (e.g. "period"). Used to name the output elements as <name>.start and <name>.end.

Value

A named list with two elements:

.start

The start value as a character string.

.end

The end value as a character string, or the start value if no endValue was found.

Unexpected input formats return NA for both values.
