Patch for CODETOOLS-7901674 contains the changes to several Question subclasses similar to the following below.

=======================================
- protected void load(Map data) {
- Object o = data.get(tag);
- if (o instanceof String)
- setValue((String)o);
+ protected void load(Map<String, String> data) {
+ String o = data.get(tag);
+ setValue(o);
     }
=======================================

Before the change null values were not loaded. Now they are.
This needs to be fixed.
