Description

the set of types with repo-init is limited to String, Long, Double, Date, Boolean i.e. doesn't cover all types defined in JCR (see https://docs.adobe.com/content/docs/en/spec/jsr170/javadocs/jcr-2.0/javax/jcr/PropertyType.html for example)

for those {{PropertyDefinition}}s that have a required type defined, conversion from string usually works (if the string is well defined), however for residual property definitions it will not be possible to set properties of types that are not covered by repo init.
