Linux version, transform using NA, error reads 'name num not defined'
Posted: Wed Sep 30, 2026 3:44 pm
Hi.
I am having an interesting problem specific to the linux version of Jamovi. I am screening missing data and attempting to transform a variable to test for significant differences. When I specify the recode condition 'if $source == NA use 1, else use 2, it produces an error stating 'name num not defined'. If I use a bracket or quotations around the NA, the value 2 appears for complete data, but not the 1 for the missing data. This issue only affects the usage of NA, as using any other number value does not produce a problem. I have since tested this issue in the Windows version and encountered no issues. However, as I primarily use linux for research, this is a problem when handling new data sets and missing data.
Does anybody have any insights into what may be causing this issue?
Thank you.
