  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Data Type: The property specified in the error message is expected to be a string, but it may have been provided as a different data type (e.g., number, boolean, or object).
  Malformed XML or JSON: If the configuration or data binding is done through XML or JSON, there might be a syntax error or a misconfiguration that leads to the wrong data type being passed.

  Check the Property Definition: Review the property definition in the XML or JSON configuration to ensure that it is correctly defined as a string.
