Returns the control term (a vector for permitted values and a tibble for code lists) for a given variable. The dataset can be optionally specified if there is different control terminology for different datasets
get_control_term(metacode, variable, dataset = NULL)metacore object
A variable name to get the controlled terms for. This can either be a string or just the name of the variable
A dataset name. This is not required if there is only one set of control terminology across all datasets
a vector for permitted values and a 2-column tibble for codelists
