This document includes an ensemble_axis attribute, which is a list of elements which are required to be of type linked_to(designing.ensemble_requirement). There are two values in the list, the first of which is of type designing.numerical_requirement, which although a superclass of the required value, is not an instance of it.

The relevant piece of the value is:

I note that this is a pretty old document ... but am not sure how to find if it has been superceded.

[charliepascoe]

I see it in the "StartDateEnsemble" tab in my spreadsheet.

[bnlawrence]

That seems like the right thing, but I fear that may not only mean it is serialised wrongly, but that the CIM is broken ... (which might be why it has been serialised that way) ...

If we believe this ...
doc_design.pdf

It looks like the fix for this needs a wee bit of thinking about ... before anyone does anything.
