I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature but I was expecting this example to work since the new coord is just a slight rewrite of the original dimension coordinate: ```python import xarray as xr ds = xr.tutorial.open_dataset(""air_temperature"") # Change the first time value: ds[""air_new""] = ds.air.copy() air_new_changed = ds.air_new[{""time"": 0}] * 3 ds.air_new.loc[air_new_changed.coords] = air_new_changed # Works! :) # Add a another coord along time axis and change # the first time value: ds[""air_new""] = ds.air.copy().assign_coords( {""time_float"": ds.time.astype(float)} ) air_new_changed = ds.air_new[{""time"": 0}] * 4 ds.air_new.loc[air_new_changed.coords] = air_new_changed # Error! :( Traceback (most recent call last): Cell In[25], line 5 ds.air_new.loc[air_new_changed.coords] = air_new_changed File ~\AppData\Local\mambaforge\envs\jw\lib\site-packages\xarray\core\dataarray.py:222 in __setitem__ dim_indexers = map_index_queries(self.data_array, key).dim_indexers File ~\AppData\Local\mambaforge\envs\jw\lib\site-packages\xarray\core\indexing.py:182 in map_index_queries grouped_indexers = group_indexers_by_index(obj, indexers, options) File ~\AppData\Local\mambaforge\envs\jw\lib\site-packages\xarray\core\indexing.py:144 in group_indexers_by_index raise KeyError(f""no index found for coordinate {key!r}"") KeyError: ""no index found for coordinate 'time_float'"" ``` ","{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/8028/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,,13221727,issue
