Symptoms

When trying to copy a flex asset that has negative value in a float attribute, an error is returned.

Replication Steps (using FirstSite II):

1. Create a Content Attribute of type Float and name it "floatContent".

2. Create a Content Definition named "floatTestD" and add "floatContent" as
an optional attribute.

3. Create a new Content Asset named "floatTest00" with the "floatTestD"
definition and fill in the value of "floatContent" with "-5.3".

4. Try to copy this asset.

If all float attributes have no value or greater than 0 no error is returned.

The error message is:
