Hi Frank,

Good questions, affected fields/properties are standard HubSpot default fields.  
An example of both a validation rule and obviously wrong value, would be if you have a first name field and a URL or code was entered instead.

If you have been intentionally storing data this way we would advise using new custom properties rather than abusing the default properties.
