Rules and custom multiple property

[alberto_jimenez]

Hi.

I am having some problems with a rule that sends a mail if a multiple custom property contains one value.

Here is my custom property configuration asociated with an aspect:

<aspect name="xyz:minicia">
   <title>Mini compañía</title>
   <properties>
      <property name="xyz:minicia">
         <title>Mini compañías</title>
         <type>d:text</type>
         <multiple>true</multiple>
         <index enabled="true">
            <atomic>true</atomic>
            <stored>false</stored> 
            <tokenised>both</tokenised>
         </index>
      </property>
   </properties>
</aspect>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

My rule configuration:

   When: Items are created or enter this folder + Items are updated + Items are deleted
   If all criteria are met:
      xyz:minicia contains Prueba
   Perform Action: Send mail

The problem is that when a third application tries to upload a new file to the folder, an exception is always thrown:

If I change the criteria to met all files, it works fine. Similar rules for custom properties that are not multiple, also works fine.   
   
Any idea?

Thanks in advance.
