Symptoms

On : 11.1.0.13 version, General

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
---------------
A Policy transaction using Attached Rule AddRoles will create a bad entry on AsRoleField if a Null Date is passed to a Role field of type Date.
When using Attached Rule AddRoles with a Policy transaction, if the math variable referenced in the element is DATATYPE="DATE" and the dateValue is Null,
when the Activity processes the created row on AsActivityField will have a FieldTypeCode of '00'.


EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
-----------------------
A Null Date should still save as FieldTypeCode 01 if the expected field type is a Date field.


STEPS
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Create a Policy transaction with Attached Rule AddRoles.
2. Within this transaction create a MathVariable of DataType DATE and a Null value.
3. Process the transaction and see that the created entry on AsRoleField has been created with a fieldTypeCode of 00.

The workaround is that the configuration must always pass a dateValue to ensure FieldTypeCode sets to 01.
