missing task_type field for non-GGA calculations about emmet HOT 4 OPEN

Is it possible the task_type functionality isn't working for these calcs or is just in the materials docs where this is going awry?

from emmet.

This is actually in the task docs (or whatever it is that the Tasks endpoint serves from) not the materials docs . Could this be a simple question of when the tasks were ingested? In my personal tasks collection, none of my tasks has a task_type field.

The validation and materials collections associated with my PR #536 (building with the new build system) on Knowhere / mp_core_build appear to have correctly-populated calc_type and calc_types fields, respectively.

The task docs won't have a valid task_type since I think that was hot-patched for a short while until I realized that even pymatgen was buggy and decided that it should be in the Materials Doc.

In that case, we should probably remove task_type from the API doc?

I see the value in having it from the tasks endpoint directly, but since it needs to be built separately, one option would be to offer a /tasks/task_types route. Another option would be an on-the-fly aggregation, so that the returned task doc has the built task type, but that would probably mean we couldn't search on it.
