Description
In certain circumstances the q2cim translator is producing an empty value element when it should be outputting a value (at least I think this is the case). Mark E. reported this as it was being picked up as a validation error ...
The error as observed by Mark:
In Land Ice Shelves for hadGEM2-ES I have responded N/A for the SnowTreatment?. The validation reports that "Snow Treatment +must possess a non-empty value element". For our model we don't deal with snow on land ice.
==== Exported XML has empty value element for shortName Method despite presence in questionnaire:
<componentProperty represented="true">
<shortName>SnowTreatment?</shortName> <longName>SnowTreatment?</longName> <componentProperty represented="true">
<shortName>Method</shortName> <longName>Method</longName> <value/>

Previous fix to remove empty properties appears to have solved this problem
