Select efile fields by form scope

Returns the variable names present on a given return form, using the built-in field_concordance. Useful for restricting a panel to fields available on both the full 990 and the 990EZ, which avoids conflating a structural blank (field absent from the 990EZ) with a reported blank.

Usage

fields_in_scope(form = c("both", "990", "990EZ", "all", "990PF"))

Arguments

form

One of "both" (present on the full 990 and the 990EZ), "990" (present on the full 990), "990EZ" (present on the 990EZ), "all" (every 990-release variable), or "990PF" (every 990PF-release variable). Header and signature fields count as present on every form.

Value

A character vector of variable_name values.

Details

Form scope is a 990-release concept. A 990PF return is one form, so the 990PF release has no structural blanks of this kind; "990PF" simply returns every variable in field_concordance_pf.
