Slot: Reason Quality Flag Vocabulary Is Missing (quality_flag_vocabulary_missing_reason)

Reason quality_flag_vocabulary is null.

Tier: optional

Why this slot matters

Distinguishes "this product has no QA flags at all" (common for gridded data) from an omission. Without the reason, an empty vocabulary field is ambiguous and a completeness check cannot tell an inapplicable entry from a missing one.

In plain terms

If there is no quality-code key listed, this says why — often because the dataset simply does not use quality codes. It turns a blank into a clear statement rather than leaving the reader guessing.
