Describe the bug

Updating a non-string property with a string value changes the value type to string of the property with the following Patch call: /shells/{aasIdentifier}/submodels/{submodelIdentifier}/submodel-elements/{idShortPath}/$value

To reproduce

Create a submodel with any property that is not a string (double, int, etc..) and update it with the Swagger UI with a string value.

No response

Expected Behaviour

At least, an error should be returned that the value type is not matching. The server, however, could try to parse the string to the expected data type and give an error if that fails. This allows some flexibility.
