@PDoakORNL I removed the macos bypass for the previously failing test =>Provided the macos CI passes you have confirmation that this works without needing to reproduce it locally.

I need to go see if I can still reproduce the Mac but, but I have questions about why MultiReal was missing from the unit test or removed when it seems like it would have caught a real bug. Also is this feature just not used in any other testing or if it was how could it have worked on any system.

[PDoakORNL]

The fix and return of the unit testing of multireal is good, the refactor and possible copy optimization is uncessary please remove.

Simplified by hand. Just kept the assignValue multiReal fix (was a vector of strings and not reals). I also expanded the outer catch to be a conservative catch all in case there are any other problems lurking here. Next time we will at least get an error from the correct area.
