Understanding the Difference Between `split` and `unstack` When Handling Variable-Level Data
The problem is that you have a data frame with multiple variables (e.g., issues.fields.created, issues.fields.customfield_10400, etc.) and each one has different number of rows. When using unstack on a data frame, it automatically generates separate columns for each level of the variable names. This can lead to some unexpected behavior. One possible solution is to use split instead: # Assuming that you have this dataframe: DF <- structure( list( issues.fields.created = c("2017-08-01T09:00:44.
