5.16.1 Boolean

The word boolean can be used as a type. The word bool will be recognized as a shorthand identification for this type as well.

A Collection can have any number of fields of type boolean.

A boolean type will produce a field that can have a value of true or false, and that will be represented as a checkbox when editing.

Values for a Boolean field type will be interpreted in the following ways:

• Anything starting with the letter ‘y’ (such as ‘yes’) will be interpreted as true;
• Anything starting with the letter ‘n’ (such as ‘no’) will be interpreted as false;
• Anything starting with the letter ‘t’ (such as ‘true’) will be interpreted as true;
• Anything starting with the letter ‘f’ (such as ‘false’) will be interpreted as false;
• The word ‘on’ will be interpreted as true;
• The digit ‘1’ will be interpeted as true;
• Any other value will be interpreted as false.
