If you want to provide some input to the model which is only optionally used, at the moment, there are two ways:
- Create a model variant which takes the input data
- When the input is not being used, provide some dummy data otherwise leapfrog will error
Doing 2 is quite annoying but 1 can be a bit heavyweight for a small switch. This came up with adding transmission input, this was only a few new inputs and ones which we want to every model variant to be able to optionally use, which would end up with a huge proliferation of variants. It would be better if this was a runtime switch and leapfrog could support non-required inputs. How can we support this?
After we do this we should update #310
