Cannot initialize a variable with a non-boolean value even if variable is defined as non-boolean *after copying | pasting from an existing boolean action*

[meadows-st-Techlytical]

Describe the Bug with repro steps

1. Copy action "Initialize Variable" from an existing boolean activity (originally I mistakenly wrote that this happened when inserting a new action but I can only recreate the issue when copying | pasting from an existing activity)
2. Define a name e.g. floattest
3. Select variable type = float
4. Attempt to enter a non-boolean value (e.g. 0.0)
5. Error message appears ("enter a valid boolean value")

Are these the exact steps you followed? I'm not able to reproduce this on my end at all

Thanks for the response @hartra344.

I have updated the title and steps to reproduce to reflect the apparent path to produce the issue - thanks for the prompt to recreate the problem.

Correction: The issue happens when I Copy | Paste an existing "Initialize Variable" action.

Then changed the variable type to a non-boolean data type:

Then attempted to enter an initial non-boolean value which causes the error.

.

Please Note:

1. When I add a new "Initialize Variable" this bug does not occur.
2. When I update the initial value via code (even from the copied action) the bug does not occur.
