Cannot convert the literal '' to the expected data type 'Edm.String'.

The field in question is a text field that houses numbers. When I change then save the field to any number I get the message above. 

If I save and not change the field the message doesn't appear. 

Any help would be appreciated.  

 

Thank you.

    I removed the text input control and now is working as expected without warnings or errors. 

     

    If all else fails we have at our disposal the 3 finger salute.
