error while interpolating regional initial conditions using ERA-5 grib data

[518er2005]

Hello everyone I am trying to run a limited area simulation of 10 km qusi uniform mesh. For that purpose I am using ERA-5 data as initial conditions. However as I am trying to creating the initial conditions am getting an error as given below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

ERROR: ********************************************************************************
ERROR: SOILHGT field not found in intermediate file ERA:2021-05-11_00
ERROR: ********************************************************************************
ERROR: *************************************************************
ERROR: Blending of terrain along domain boundaries would fail, and
ERROR: config_blend_bdy_terrain = true in the namelist.init_atmosphere file.
CRITICAL ERROR: *************************************************************

If anyone can help me how to resolve it, will be much appreciated.
Also am attaching the namelist along with the error log file.
With regards,

Besides processing the time-dependent atmospheric and land-surface ERA5 fields, I think you will also need to use ungrib to process the ERA5 invariant fields, including SOILHGT. Once you've created an intermediate file with invariant fields, you can concatenate the contents of that file to each of your time-varying intermediate files.

Dear @518er2005, do you have found any solution on this matter? I would like to know, because I face same problem now.

Please take a look at the post here, which addresses the SOILHGT issue in ERA5.
