Bug: explicitly filter domain variables using .data and .env pronouns

[ynsec37]

What happened?

When using the xportr to write the full sdtm(parent sdtm and supplemental in one dataset), it may be not a submission dataset but very usefull. I hope it can provide more flexibility, although the xportr is designed to created CDISC compliant submission datasets.

In this case I need create a variable that contains both parent variables and supplemental variables, use another variable to distinguish them.

• dataset(getOption("xportr.domain_name")) for filtering
• domain for distinguishing.

After checking the final output, the supplemental variables are ignored, e.g. missing label.

This is due to the filtering code metadata <- metadata %>% filter(!!sym(domain_name)==domain) will turn to metadata <- metadata %>% filter(dataset == domain), then it will filter the records dataset == domain not dataset == "AE"

For now, I just delete the domain when writing xpt.
The more robust way is to explicitly use the .data and .env to avoid it like below
metadata <- metadata %>% filter(.data[[domain_name]]==.env$domain)

@EeethB Thank you very much. I had tested it and fixed the above case.
