Running a When rule gives different result than test case result when using a Text param that receives a number.
I believe I found a bug when considering a param that is set as a Text vs as an Integer.
SETUP:
1. Create a When rule "When Param.EmployeeType = 4", but make the Param.EmployeeType a "Text".
CREATE THE TEST CASE
- Click on the "Actions" -> "Run" for the When rule
- Enter the number 3 for the Value
- Click Run *Note that "false" is returned.
- Click Convert to Test
- Run the test and see it fail stating that the actual result is true.
FOLLOW-UP
- Now change Param.EmployeeType to Integer
- Re-run the test and it will pass.
The curious thing here is that when running the rule from "When", it works whether or not the param is a Text or Integer, but fails in the Test Case if the param is a Text.

Hi Jeff,
I tried in 7.3.1 and 7.4 and the result of the When rule and the test cases are passed when I gave the condition Param.EmployeeType=4 and provided the EmployeeType=3 and EmployeeType as Text.

That is not my experience in 7.3.1. And I made sure to check out, check in, etc.
I first tested with param.EmployeeType = 4 and RETURN = true.
Then I checked it out, changed param.EmployeeType = 3 and left RETURN = true.
Checked in, Actions -> Run and the result was still "Test passed!"
I do believe it is a caching issue. But I'll let those who develop the backend figure this out.
