Description
The advice given in validate(entity) when there's no ID column:
> validate(genePhenotype)
Validation issues found:
This entity appears to have no ID column.
It must have a column with a unique value in each row.
You can create a simple numeric ID as follows:
genePhenotype <- genePhenotype %>%
modify_data(mutate(ID = row_number())) %>%
sync_variable_metadata() %>%
redetect_column_as_id('ID')
Then `validate(genePhenotype)` again
Should also be provided by inspect()
