Details

Function to help initialize source data.frame to generate optional instructions and descriptions for quetzio. It should contain specific columns, which are created here alongside one placeholder input to help populating next ones.

To use 'gsheet' method, the 'googlesheets4' package needs to be installed.

You can create the source 'data.frame' yourself, keeping only the columns that are universally mandatory and specific to used types, though it is recommended to keep all columns that are created during initialization - the column classes should be kept.

When using 'googlesheet' as a source, all columns should be kept alongside their order to ensure correct import.
