When a new volScalarField created using:

volScalarField test         
(             
   IOobject             
   (                 
      "test",                 
      mesh.time().timeName(),                 
      mesh,                 
      IOobject::NO_READ,                 
      IOobject::NO_WRITE             
   ),             
   mesh,             
   dimensionedScalar("test", dimless, 0)         
);

boundaries with cyclic patchType have no value field. However, I see value fields on some other coupled patchTypes such as processor. My question is: which part of the code causes this difference? Can I somehow create a new patchType which is cyclic and which also has a value field?
