EPiServer.Core.TypeMismatchException when adding new PropertyList

Vote:
0

We are running EPiServer CMS 12.32.3. We have serveral different PropertyLists on our site and have been using them for years. 

But now I have run into an issue where I get a TypeMismatchException that craches the site when I start it the first time after adding a new PropertyList with a new PropertyDefinitionTypePlugIn. If I restart the site after the crash everything works as expected and I can use the PropertyList as intended. Has anyone else run into this issue? Does anyone know how I can fix it?

Below is an example of the error I get on the first startup after adding a brand new PropertyList.

Hello ThereseM

Some time ago, Optimizely released the Official List property. You can read more about it here:

https://world.optimizely.com/blogs/bartosz-sekula/dates/2023/1/official-list-property-support/

If the issue occurs only with new properties, it might be worth switching to this new approach—it could help resolve your problems.
