Comment:

 In [changeset:"44731" 44731]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="44731"
 Formatting: Loosen the type checking in `_sanitize_text_fields()`.

 [44618] added strict type checking to `_sanitize_text_fields()`, which has
 caused some compat issues with plugins.

 We can loosen the type checking to only reject objects and arrays, and
 cast other types to string.

 Props Nick_theGeek, pento.
 Fixes #41450.
