> The description of the Strict Type Checking property for the ValidateRecord processor states:
> _If false, the Record will be considered valid and the field will be coerced into the correct type (if possible, according to the type coercion supported by the Record Writer)._
> In my testing I've confirmed that in this scenario, the records are considered valid.  But, none of the record fields are coerced into the correct type.
> We should either correct the documentation or implement the promised coercion functionality.
