Usage

setAttributeColumn(
  object,
  attr_name,
  col_or_value,
  col_name,
  default_value,
  stop_if_default,
  warn_if_default,
  message_if_default
)

object: The object to set the attribute column on.
attr_name: The attribute name to set
col_or_value: If this exists as a column in the data, it is used as the col_name. If not, this becomes the default_value.
col_name: The name of the column within the dataset to use (if missing, uses attr_name)
default_value: The value to fill in the column if the column does not exist (the column is filled with NA if it does not exist and no value is provided).
stop_if_default, warn_if_default, message_if_default: A character string to provide as an error, a warning, or a message to the user if the default_value is used. They are tested in order (if stop, the code stops; if warning, the message is ignored; and message last).

The object with the attribute column added to the data.
