Symptoms

FAILURE: Variables did not match the condition.
Type contains <sys_id> .and. Type contains <sys_id>

Cause

When trying to use a step type of 'Validate Variable Values' on a catalog item and the field set is a list collector, the user will get the following error:

FAILURE: Variables did not match the condition.
Type contains <sys_id> .and. Type contains <sys_id>

This is because List collector does not support setValue via client and hence it wont work in ATF.

Resolution

As a workaround, a user admin can add a variable attribute "glide_list" to the List collector variable in which case it will work.
