Cause

Candidate Profile field type mismatch. The system was designed so field types (text, number, picklist, etc...) may never change. In case we create a field in the candidate profile, save the template and have the same field type edited afterwards, the system may behave as mentioned above.

Resolution

To avoid the issue, it is required to undo the performed field type change. In case it mandatory to have this field with the new type, a brand new fieldID must be created.
