This data type is still exist in BIRT API
setDataType(DesignChoiceConstants.COLUMN_DATA_TYPE_STRING).

This means that all mine reports created in BIRT 2.2.2 does not work under
BIRT 2.3.1 .

Is this type no more used or is it a bug?

Said,

I am not certain why the data type was removed, but have you tried your
reports in 2.3.1?

org.eclipse.birt.report.model.metadata.ChoicePropertyType validateXml
SEVERE: Not allowed choice any

I noticed the same behaviour.
I used a search and replace tool to change all occurencies of >any< to
>string<
String should actually suit in all cases otherwise you would have
choosen a more specialiced data type before.

The "ANY" type is delightly removed from BIRT 2.3.1. As "ANY" will cause
confusion and trouble in report document.

However, all the old report designs that use any type would not be impacted:
the backward compatibility will always be done. If you find any old report
design cannot run correctly in 2.3.1 please file a bug.

Thanks.
