Issue with adding a movable solar shading

[simonmarti1992]

Hello,

I am a DesignBuilder user, and I use eppy to facilitate and automate my energy modeling process.
I have encountered an issue when trying to add movable solar shading to my simulation.

Specifically, when I attempt to include movable shading devices in my model using Eppy, I receive the following error

iddgaps.a_missingkey_standard(commdct, key_i, key_txt, nofirstfields)
File "C:\Users\simon\micromamba\envs\oreni\lib\site-packages\eppy\iddgaps.py", line 125, in a_missingkey_standard
thefield = cmt["field"][0]
KeyError: 'field'

here is a print of a part of the comm object found in iddgaps.py

Fenestration Surface 9 Name'], 'type': ['object-list'], 'object-list': ['GlazedExtSubSurfNames'], 'note': ['When Multiple Surface Control Type is set to Sequential the shades will be deployed for the referenced surface objects in order.', 'When that field is set to Group the entire list is controlled simultaneously.'], 'validobjects': {'GLAZEDDOOR', 'FENESTRATIONSURFACE:DETAILED', 'WINDOW'}}, {'field': ['Fenestration Surface 10 Name'], 'type': ['object-list'], 'object-list': ['GlazedExtSubSurfNames'], 'note': ['When Multiple Surface Control Type is set to Sequential the shades will be deployed for the referenced surface objects in order.', 'When that field is set to Group the entire list is controlled simultaneously.'], 'validobjects': {'GLAZEDDOOR', 'FENESTRATIONSURFACE:DETAILED', 'WINDOW'}}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}]

Thank you for your support!

Can you give me the version of E+ that is being used ?

iddgaps.a_missingkey_standard

was a workaround for a badly structured IDD file. I need to know which E+ version is being used to track down what is going on.

I am traveling right now. It will be a few days before I get to this.

@santoshphilip
As a DesignBuilder user, I am required to use EnergyPlusV9-4-0 by default.

[santoshphilip]

not a problem.
I will test with that version.
