ERROR Evaluation of condition failed. Rule item ID: Unknown, condition item ID: {D941FE54-0798-49D6-A403-D36537FC4661}
Exception: System.InvalidOperationException

   at Sitecore.Rules.Conditions.WhenCondition`1.Evaluate(T ruleContext, RuleStack stack)
   at Sitecore.Rules.RuleList`1.Run(T ruleContext, Boolean stopOnFirstMatching, Int32& executedRulesCount)
