Hi David,

in newer versions (not sure exactly when I added this) you can pass -addtp to the -long run. That will add the time point to the study without re-running the base. However this will probably introduce a processing bias as this time point will be treated differently from the other time points and therefore is not recommended. You may get away with it if you have sufficiently many tps in the base and this one is not expected to be too different from the others.

Best, Martin

Question regarding longitudinal processing pipeline.

Is there a way to force the -long procedure to use an individual base template for a time point not used to create the base in the first place?
