Description

@K-Beicher added this in #55. I've converted it to csv, renamed it, and renamed the columns.

Related to #55.

Needs a quick review. Did we want to use chore for most PRs in this repo for now?

Kris has added two new cols to the original data dict, "New Field Name" and "New Form Name", to be used for mapping what they are currently called in the feasibility study to what they will be called in the main study

Damn this is an ugly formatted file! Could you rename to dictionary.csv or source-dictionary.csv?

@lwjohnst86 Hmm, maybe we should actually name it in a way that clearly tells what's different about this file: the new field and form names. So, how about something likedictionary-name-mapping?

We could even remove all the unnecessary columns; if we only want to use this for name mapping, we might not need more than the first four cols.

That's true. We only the the new and old names. But I think we should still have this original dictionary here, since it was used to create the REDCap structure and questions.

Oh, I thought it was just downloaded from REDcap - hence the original name in #55 (DataDictionaryDownload20260702.xlsx)
