Proposal: Make iteration based attributes "required" only if iteration data is stored
The following iteration related attributes are marked as required
:
-
iterationEncoding
-
iterationFormat
-
time
-
dt
This makes no sense unless iteration based data is being stored and therefore these attributes should only be required when storing iteration based data.
Thank you for the proposal.
I agree that this can simplify the standard and will incorporate it with the upcoming changes I need to do for iterationEncoding
for ADIOS2.
