Description

Apply an @rtransform block to a restricted set of rows. Fill other rows with existing value or missing for new columns.

@chain begin

    DataFrame( A = 1:4, B=[1,1,2,2] )

    @rsubset_rtransform (:B == 1) begin

        :A = 10
        :C = 20

    end

end


#result
DataFrame( A=[10,10,3,4], B=[1,1,2,2], C=[20,20,missing,missing])

Research direction

Start by locating the existing @rtransform and row-subset macro implementations, then compare how they handle assignments and selected rows. The requested behavior is shown in the issue example: update only rows where B == 1, preserve existing values elsewhere, and fill new-column values with missing. Add coverage for the displayed DataFrame result if the repository has related tests.
