This points to fi_20200221 for FMS and mi_20200309 for MOM_interface. These seem rather dated. I tried pointing to a more recent MOM_interface tag, but then had problems with FMS. What should I use in Externals.cfg to get more recent MOM developments?

Michael Levy (Jan 21 2021 at 17:36):@Keith Lindsay -- I just ran into this issue myself, so thanks for posting the solution. As best as I can tell, there is something in cime5.8.36 that does not play nicely with the FMS tag fi_20201112 so the key takeaway from following the quickstart you linked is that the recommended CESM tag drops CIME to cime5.8.32. I haven't tested any of the tags between 5.8.32 and 5.8.36 to narrow down exactly what the issue is (and for the moment I don't plan to, since my sandbox appears to be working now) but I figured this info might be useful to @Alper Altuntas and @Gustavo M Marques as they work towards updating MOM and FMS in the CESM 2.3 alpha / beta series
