How to run CESM1.2.1 with Data Land model (CLM_DLND)?

Hi all, I want to prescribe land surface temperature to drive the model, just like prescribe the SST. Hence I first run a 2-years control F_2000 experiment to output cpl hist files (xx.cpl.ha2x.yy.mm.dd.nc and xx.cpl.hl2x.yy.mm.dd.nc) in so-called "DLND_CPLHIST_DIR". Then I used these cpl hist files as input files in the same F_2000 experiment but with a DLND instead of CLM40. Here my relat options in env_run.xml:
XML:
<!--"valid values: CPLHIST,NULL, valid values: CPLHIST,NULL (char) " -->
<entry id="DLND_MODE"   value="CPLHIST"  />   

<!--"valid values: CPLHIST,NULL, valid values: CPLHIST,NULL (char) " -->
<entry id="DLND_SNO_MODE"   value="NULL"  />   

<!--"directory for coupler history data mode (only used for CPLHIST mode) (char*256) " -->
<entry id="DLND_CPLHIST_DIR"   value="/scratch/czhou171/archive/"  />   

<!--"case name for coupler history data mode (only used for CPLHIST mode) (char*256) " -->
<entry id="DLND_CPLHIST_CASE"   value="run_F2000_2yr"  />   

<!--"year align (only used for CPLHIST mode) (integer) " -->
<entry id="DLND_CPLHIST_YR_ALIGN"   value="1"  />   

<!--"starting year to loop data over (only used for CPLHIST mode) (integer) " -->
<entry id="DLND_CPLHIST_YR_START"   value="2"  />   

<!--"ending year to loop data over (only used for CPLHIST mode) (integer) " -->
<entry id="DLND_CPLHIST_YR_END"   value="2"  />
but when I run ./cesm_setup, it shows error:
ERROR(build-namelist::new): Required input variable yearfirst was not found
ERROR: dlnd.buildnml.csh failed
ERROR: /share/home/czhou171/ycliu/models/CESM1/cesm1_2_1/scripts/run_F2000_DLND_test1/preview_namelists failed: 25344

Any suggestions here? Thanks in advance!

PS: There was a previous post with a similar problem and the responses were negative(see How to run WACCM with data Land model (CLM)?). However, so many years have passed and ACCESS has already has implemented such prescribe land surface temperature experiment (see An ensemble of AMIP simulations with prescribed land surface temperatures), I believe CESM should be able to do the same!
