Package and Deploy Fails when a GUID is passed as an input property
 

Diagnoses

We are getting an error when packaging a SmartForm view. It seems to be caused by one specific Rule on this view. Please see attached Word document for more details but here is the repro steps:

1. Create a rule to populate a List in a view.
2. When modifying the Rule and passing values for the input Properties we use two GUIDs as its getting data from the Taxonomy SmartObject in SP.
3. Package the View. An error is received (after almost 20 minutes) pointing to this Rule and saying it can't reference this property showing the GUID passed.

Work Around:
The issue is current being resolved by passing the SmartObject property as an Expression and putting the GUID inside the Expression. Package and deploy works fine then (In under 4 Minutes).
