After formula resolves a value, RockTomate tries to do a conversion if target type and resolved type are not the same. It can do conversion simple as from string to int or as complicated as string[] to int.
This article goes into full detail on what to expect from converted values. A conversion between types string and int will be used as an example but this applies to many other common types.
On the left hand-side is the resolved value type and on the right hand-side is the target type. Target type is a type expected by the formula as requested by the input field of the Step.
