You get this error from this kind of operation on tibbles:

library(tibble)
t1 <- tibble(x = c(TRUE, FALSE))
t2 <- tibble(x = c(1.2, 1.3))
t1[1,] <- t2[1,]
#> Error: Assigned data `t2[1, ]` must be compatible with existing data.
#> ℹ Error occurred for column `x`.
#> x Can't convert from <double> to <logical> due to loss of precision.
#> * Locations: 1.

If t1 had been a data.frame instead of a tibble, this would convert t1$x to type double. So it is possible some code you are using assumes things inheriting from class "data.frame" act like dataframes. Or maybe they were just sloppy. In any case, you might be able to fix it by changing single_study_df to a dataframe using

  single_study_df <- as.data.frame(single_study_df)

Dear colleagues

in conducting a meta-analysis (of MRI data) I am running into the repeated 
issue:

Error: Assigned data `single_study_df` must be compatible with existing data. ℹ Error 
occurred for column `accumbens_sd`. x Can't convert from <double> to <logical> 
due to loss of precision. * Locations: 1, 2. Run `rlang::last_error()` to see where the 
error occurred.

That certainly looks like a tidyverse error, specifically from the
tibble package.

This follows the commands

for (region in regions){
     for (study in unique(df$studyid)){
       single_study_df <- df %>% filter(studyid==study)
       if (is.na(single_study_df[sprintf('%s_mn', region)][[1]]) & 
!is.na(single_study_df[sprintf('%s_mn_l', region)])){
         df <- calc_bilat(study, region, r, df)
       }
     }
}


My colleague (cc'd) believed it may be an issue with tidyverse version, however 
using an older version (1.2.1), the issue persists. note 'accumbens' is the 
first of many columns so I suspect this is why it flags this up.

I would greatly value your input on this matter

Kind regards
