When using Initial State transforms in MASH, it’s possible to also inherit the visibility of those transforms and get them into the MASH network using this simple Python script.
Just a note, this only works with the Transform mode of Initial State (see screenshot).
Script below, I appreciate it could be shorter, but I’m trying to make it obvious what’s happening 😉
