Pre-spectral line (PL2023 and earlier):
Prior to the VLA spectral line pipeline, the pipeline was optimized for continuum only and bright spectral lines could be flagged as RFI and downweighted by statwt. The restore workflow had two tasks and output an RFI flagged MS with the weights reset.

The template_hifv_deliver_ms.xml should run on the $SDMID.ms needs to specify data types for importonly mode datacolumns={'data':'raw',corrected:'regcal_contline_all'}
Post-spectral line (PL2024):
The VLA spectral line pipeline will spawn multiple measurement sets, one with calibrators and RFI flagging applied, which is the same as the previous workflow. To avoid compromising spectral line data, the $SDMID_targets.ms will have RFI flags removed, the $SDMID_targets_cont.ms will have RFI flags applied and is suitable for continuum-only work.
