Research direction

Edit the DESCRIPTION file at the repository root and add a BugReports: https://github.com/philchalmers/SimDesign/issues field in the proper DCF format, keeping it alongside fields like URL. Done means the package still parses (e.g. devtools::load_all() or R CMD build runs without DESCRIPTION errors) and the issue tracker link appears on the CRAN page.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Please consider adding BugReports to your DESCRIPTION file. That will make it easier to find this issue tracker from your CRAN package page, which is now only found via the link to the wiki.
