harvest data handling

[chporter]

Problem: a dataset included "hacom" (harvest component). This was correctly put into a harvest event under management in the json. The DSSAT translator created a harvest event, but the model failed because there was no date associated with the event.

Solution: The translator should create a harvest event and give the date of the observed harvest. If there is no observed harvest date, then don't create the event.

I think we should add another DOME function or use current DOME command to add this event date. User should mention which date or what kind of date rule should be applied to the harvest date. This is not the job for translator. If it is a observed value, we should use observed variable rather than a management variable. If there is no such variable in the observed variable list, could we add one for it?

Meng;
This is a DSSAT translator failure, not a user input issue. Let’s discuss it when I get back.
