I'm OK with this issue being closed. I'm no expert on netcdf4, so I don't know if I could express the issue in a concise manner there.

in fact, for my particular application, I think the array was meant more as the time the particular index was taken at, in which case a coordinate seems perfect, that said, I am mutating the coordinate array through data acquisition.

I think an acceptable solution would be to state this limitation in the description of what attributes are.

in learning how to use xarray, I ran into the fact that boolean variables cannot be stored in netcdf4, and the array limitation reported. I worked around the boolean problem by replacing it with a more descriptive (and ultimately more forward compatible) string.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,335608017
