plot_net(type="taxa") doesn't read sample_data()

[GeoMicroSoares]

Hello there,

I can't seem to colour my taxa network with plot_net() and I'm not sure why. It works for type="samples", but for "taxa" it gives a object not found error. Reproducible example below:

> data("GlobalPatterns")
> gp<-GlobalPatterns
> gp.r <-  transform_sample_counts(gp, function(x) {x/sum(x)} ) 
> gp.r.f = filter_taxa(gp.r, function(x) sum(x) > .05, TRUE)
> plot_net(gp.r.f, maxdist = 0.8, type="taxa", 
         laymeth="fruchterman.reingold",
         color="SampleType",
         point_alpha = 0.6)
Error in FUN(X[[i]], ...) : object 'SampleType' not found

However, the same command works for type="samples".

> plot_net(gp.r.f, maxdist = 0.8, type="samples", 
         laymeth="fruchterman.reingold",
         color="SampleType",
         point_alpha = 0.6)

Any help will be appreciated!
