I'm getting a "Conditionally Required Field Missing" error message, even though I'm sure that field is there.

`58=Conditionally Required Field Missing, field=55`

Versions:

**QuickFixJ 2.1.0**

**FIX 4.4**

Here is the FIX message that I'm sending (with mocked values and a few fields removed for clarity)

```
8=FIX.4.4
9=709
35=R
34=4
49=TARGET
56=ME
11=myClOrdID
131=myQuoteReqID
146=myNoRelatedSym
55=mySymbol          // field missing
167=mySecurityType   // field missing

```

Here is the calling code:

```
String symbol = quoteRequest.getField(new StringField(55)).getValue();

```

I also tried:

```
String symbol = quoteRequest.getString(55);

```

Here is my Data Dictionary:

```
<field number="55" name="Symbol" type="STRING"/>

```

I realize that the symbol field is no longer a part of the `QuoteRequest` FIX specification for 4.4 (though it was in earlier versions, such as 4.0), however surely there are ways to retrieve custom fields? I have no control over the `QuoteRequest` message that I receive.

I can always parse the message myself using `toString()` but that kinda defeats the purpose of using quickfixj in the first place.

Any ideas?
