[phylo] traits input not passed to `augur export` #251

Closed joverlee521 closed 1 month ago

joverlee521 commented 2 months ago

In the phylogenetic workflow, the traits input is not passed to the augur export command --node-data option in the shell.

Looks like this was intentionally removed in https://github.com/nextstrain/mpox/commit/43fdaf1015a5a55b580612308c2b631bc22e9f74 to disable reconstruction of the country field.

This can be confusing for users if they want traits reconstruction for their own analysis.

To get around this, we can move the traits column parameter to be a config parameter. Then conditionalize the traits input for the export rule based on the presence of the config parameter (similar to how the recency input is conditionalized)
