    Description

      Current Situation

      When changing the type of a workflow variable the specified default values always will converted to empty.
      Values in schedules are converted several wrong way.

      Current
      Value in Schedule      		 String Number Boolean Final Map List
      String x 0 false Still visible Wrong map items Empty list
      Number aNumber x 1->true
      other-> false      		 Still visible Empty map Empty list
      Boolean aBoolean true --> 1
      false --> false      		 x Still visible    
      Final empty empty empty x Empty map Empty list
      Map [object Object] [object Object] [object Object] Still visible x Empty list
      List [object Object] [object Object] [object Object] Still visible Empty map x
      Current
      Default Value      		 String Number Boolean Final Map List
      String x empty empty empty empty empty
      Number empty x empty empty empty Empty list
      Boolean empty empty x empty empty empty
      Final empty empty empty x empty empty
      Map empty empty empty empty x empty
      List empty empty empty empty empty x

      Entries in List Variables

      Current
      Value in Schedule      		 String Number Boolean
      String x 0 false
      Number unchanged x false
      Boolean unchanged 0 x
      Current
      Default Value      		 String Number Boolean
      String x unchanged empty
      Number unchanged x empty
      Boolean unchanged unchanged x

      Desired Behavior

      Changing the type of a workflow variable should convert existing values as follows

      The behavior for the default value and the value in the schedule should be the same.

      It should be tried to convert the current value to a value with the new type, e.g. number:1 can be converted to boolean: true.

       

      Desired
      Value in Schedule       		 String Number Boolean Final Map List
      String x If aString is a number

      false –> false      		 true  –> 1
      false  –> 0      		 x remove
