Prohibit Spaces in Variable Names
Prohibit Spaces in Variable Names
It might be good for jamovi to disallow spaces in variable names. This is because a space in a variable name works fine for some jamovi analyses, but breaks other jamovi analyses.
Re: Prohibit Spaces in Variable Names
If spaces in variable names breaks an analysis, then let us know.

Re: Prohibit Spaces in Variable Names
I created a variable called: Temp Name
as well as an identical one called TempName
When I try to filter by any of the following, the filtering fails for various reasons:
Temp Name
"Temp Name"
'Temp Name'
`Temp Name`
It only works when I filter by TempName
as well as an identical one called TempName

Re: Prohibit Spaces in Variable Names
you need to surround a name with spaces in it, with backticks. `Temp Name` works. (same as R)
if you click the little fx you can select variable names from the list and it will do this for you automagically.

But here's a similar issue. In this toothgrowth data, the plot works when the DV is len, fails when the DV is Tooth Length, and also fails when the DV is `Tooth Length` . See the linked zip file, below, containing the jamovi (v 1.2) omv.
