Regex Analysis and Formatted String mapping on source property with value and attribute not working

[JohannaOtt]

For regex analysis function, the stacktrace is the following with a ConverterNotFoundException:

First investigation dev team: "it appears to happen only for Regex Analysis cells that map from a source property that has both a value itself as well as an attribute (like gml:identifier or gml:description). If I change the source property e.g. to id, it works. When the source property is set to identifier, the transformation fails and a Java Object description shows up in the field "Sample text"."

Update: This is not happening only for Regex Analysis but at least as well for Formatted String mapping. There is no error message in that case but the target property contains values such as eu.esdihumboldt.hale.common.instance.orient.storage.DatabaseHandle$InstanceHandle@1008ac5f
