Description

A few users have noted that switching the type of a control applied to an input in the ODE (control, polynomial control, parameter) also changes the name associated with the variable in the timeseries outputs. As part of an overall timeseries output refactor, dymos should allow the user to disable this prefix, but we will leave it in place by default for now for backward compatibility.

Example

This option should be added to the overall dymos options:

from dymos.options import options as dymos_options
dymos_options['verbose_timeseries_names'] = False

would change the default behavior such that variables, for instance:

traj.phase0.timeseries.states:x -> traj.phase0.timeseries.x traj.phase0.timeseries.controls:u -> traj.phase0.timeseries.u traj.phase0.timeseries.parameters:m -> traj.phase0.timeseries.m

Environment
