Problem summary

• Problem Description:
  Design Studio was throwing an exception when setting up the
  Length field for a Packed Binary number item in a type tree. The
  ClassCast Exception has been corrected where Integer value was
  incorrectly being casted to String resulting in pop-up message
  showing the failure. The issue has been resolved and Design
  Studio now allows the length to be set for Packed numbers.
  
  Users Affected:
  8.2.0.4 and older 8.2.x  Design Studio users
  
  Platforms Affected:
  Windows
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed a problem with Design Studio where it throws an exception
  and fails to set the length for a Packed Binary number item in a
  type tree.
  
  Delivered in:
  8.2.0.5, 8.3.0.0
