Research direction

Start by following the linked Getting OMOP CDM Vocabularies vignette with the Athena vocabulary dated 27/08/2025, using the local vocabulary database setup. Inspect the warning about drug_strength and the resulting cdm_reference object; done means drug_strength is available there and code searches complete without the reported error.

Description

Describe the bug
I'm following this vignette to use CodelistGenerator locally: https://darwin-eu.github.io/CodelistGenerator/articles/a01_GettingOmopCdmVocabularies.html#create-a-local-vocabulary-database

It creates a cdm reference effectively but I get a warning message related to drug_strength. When searching for codes, I get an error saying that drug_strength does not exist in the cdm_reference object.

To Reproduce
Follow the same vignette using the Vocabulary downloaded from Athena (version 27/08/2025)
