Issue Description
When changing an Activity Outcome rule in a workflow by removing an inline method, deploying the workflow and attempting to open it again, an XML error occurs.

Cause
K2 did not clear the ValuePluginInput when a plugin (inline method) was removed, it was kept in the ProcessDefinitionXML which caused the XML error.

- Configure the Outcome rule with: If Data Field = Inline function "Absolute [-1].
- Add a Placeholder in the outcome activity.
- Deploy the workflow.

- Re-deploy the workflow.
- Close the workflow.
- When re-opening the workflow, the XML error occurs.
