InfoPath Content Type Wrong Data When Saved/Mapped To Library column

I am using an InfoPath forms library that has a Published form to the server, so the library is using the Microsoft InfoPath content types.

Column Name:
Email Sent
Column Source:
Globalv3
The type of information in
this column is:
Single line of text

When someone opens the InfoPath form and saves the columns show something other then yes or no. It is like it is filling in with another content type information.

To fix this I have to open the library, go to library settings, under 'Columns' find the "Email Sent" field and delete it. I then click 'Add from existing site columns' and re-add the "Email Sent" column. After doing that when the Form is opened and saved the correct yes or no appears.

What is happening here? Thanks!

Chris

NOTE: I am now seeing this same issue on another InfoPath Form content type column. Doing the same fix.

I see this as a workaround, but is there a solution? https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/50e52b06-47a5-4ea2-9ed7-e5de7da5c5e8/infopath-fields-not-being-mapped-to-associated-columns?forum=sharepointcustomizationlegacy

"Try removing the columns from the document library by going to Settings >> Document Library Settings >> Click on each affected column, and then click on Remove. Follow this up by de-activating and re-activating the InfoPath template in Central Admin and the columns should be successfully re-added. Note: these columns will not display any data for InfoPath forms that have already been submitted. "
