• The same root cause of the defect affects when adding an attachment if the "attachment" attribute it's a custom one (type: attachment).

  Problem comes from transformer.java:
  
  Map.Entry[] entries = (Map.Entry[]) valueQualifiersMap.entrySet().toArray( Utils.EMPTY_MAP_ENTRY_ARRAY );
  for( int i = 0; i < entries.length; i++ )
  {
  e.setAttribute( (String) entries[i].getKey(), entries[i].getValue().toString() );
  }
  entries[i].getKey() is coming as numeric value
