Introduction
After upgrading to KB000450 an error occurs in K2 Rules (Line Rule, Succeeding Rules, Preceding Rules, Start and Finish Rules) which evaluates Boolean fields to 0 and 1. This behavior does not affect the normal functions of K2 rules, but rather only affects those rules where the evaluation of Boolean fields in the rule is 0 and 1. This is not default K2 behavior.
Error Scenario Steps
This is one example where the error might occur. When upgrading to KB000450 a problem with K2 SmartObject comparison might occur, for more information on KB000450 see here K2 blackpearl 0807 Update (4.8210.2.450)

- Create a K2 SmartObject with the following fields
- ID [autonumber]
- Name [Text]
- Surname [Text]
- BeenInAccident [YesNo]
- Created a record in K2 SmartBox
- 1; John; Doe; True;
- Create a process
- Configure the SmartObject Event Wizard to load the record from K2 SmartBox (using the load method) and saves the “BeenInAccident” property into a Datafield.
- Create a K2 Server Event “Console.WriteLine(“Done!”);
- Configure line between the SmartObjectEvent Wizard and the Server Event as follows : Datafield (point “a”) = 1
- Start a new instance
- The error occurs
