Issue Description

When a workflow on a SharePoint List is redeployed, and that workflow referenced an out-of-context SmartObject (a SmartObject from a different List), when it is packaged and deployed from one environment to another deployment fails and an error occurs.

Error Message
Error Message:
System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.

Cause
The packaged workflow had an ‘initialize data’ setting on the client event which consists of a concatenated string value that contains pipe “|” characters. This string value contains empty elements, Package and Deployment ignored the empty elements and compiled a faulty initialize string value for the workflow activity.
