sptable<- does not propagate fields

[mdsumner]

this should work

data("wrld_simpl", package = "maptools")
x <- wrld_simpl
library(spbabel)
library(dplyr)
x1 <- x
sptable(x1) <- spbabel::sptable(x1) %>%  dplyr::mutate(object_ = branch_)

hmm, tarnation - it might work if distinct(object_, .keep_all = TRUE) is run, then atleast user can duplicate object and use it to re-index the data

[mdsumner]

Nope, this could only work with the gibble
