Jaffe lab has requested the ability to automatically set replicate attribute based on some properties in the Thermo RAW file header. ProteoWizard can write these properties to the MSData fileContent section as userParams if they are present and/or non-empty, where Skyline can look for them and use them appropriately.

Brendan, who do I ask what attributes in a RAW file they want me to use? I looked at the example RAWs you sent but nothing popped out at me in the file headers.

Jake Jaffe, now included was the original source of this request. He wanted to be able to have sample attributes set in his raw files imported directly into Skyline custom attributes.

Jake, can you point me at some raw files and tell me which attribute you want to access?

Per https://github.com/ProteoWizard/pwiz/pull/494 , Nick will handle integrating the attribute access into Skyline.

This got committed to the Skyline-Daily branch on Sept 23. (We haven't had a Skyline-Daily release with this in it yet, but we will soon).
