Error: The field is the wrong type
Description
The 'field value' built-in variable will return either a number, some text or a protocol item, depending on whether the field has been set up as a text, numeric or choice field (See Specifying a field's type.)
If you are using this field in an operation, then the field's type must match the type required for that operation. For example, if you are using the field's value as a parameter to a mathematical function or operator, then the field must be a numeric field.
If the type of field doesn't match the required type, then this error will be generated.
