Changing the label as there is another PR for the release and Andy may agree to do this one.

P.S. @mo-alistairp, does the developer or user guide need to be updated as well if the limitation is mentioned there, too?

[arporter]

Thanks for this Alistair. I'm afraid it needs some more work as the code being generated is not correct currently - please see inline.

[mo-alistairp]

Thanks for reviewing that so quickly, I'll look at addressing the points now!

[mo-alistairp]

Addressed all comments and added both the code generation and documentation.

[arporter]

Thanks @mo-alistairp, looking good now. There's just a couple of TODO's required to flag that there's an issue that @sergisiso will fix in his PR for #1010. I've fired off the integration tests.
Have you tried this in anger in a version of LFRic modified to make use of this new functionality?

[arporter]

All good now, thanks.
Integration tests were all green.
I'll proceed to merge but note that this will need testing against a suitably modified LFRic prior to us making a release.
