Error: jinja2.exceptions.UndefinedError: 'str object' has no attribute 'value'

When upgrading contentctl to 4.4.0 from 4.2.2, I got some new errors without changing my contentctl package. One of them is:

Verbose error logging is ENABLED.
The entire stack trace has been provided below (please include it if filing a bug report):

Here is my Detection YAML:

When debugging, detection.tags.asset_type has the value Account and is a str object, which does not have a .value.

I have opened #318 to fix the problem.
