Hi Joe, The selection field on the local form is out-of-the-box (I didn't create it), and has default values (0,1,2, etc.). The issue is that my workflow is trying to reference the column field, which is pointing to a remote text field, not a selection field.
LJ, I believe you're correct - I'll raise a bug with BMC. Thankfully I was able to get past the issue by importing the same filter pulled from a 7.0 server.
