Description

This is less of an issue and more of a question. In the scream_input.yaml file we are able to specify a constant initial value for a field by adding it to the list of args under `initial_conditions`. We use that to initialize things like `qm`. There is already a list of these in the `namelist_defaults.xml` file in the repo, (see example below) but given the way these are designated in the namelist file it isn't clear how you can add a new one "on the fly". My suspicion is you can't.
