Boolean Value Methods

Boolean fields should be assigned with true, false, or null. Avoid relying on JavaScript truthy and falsy rules for external payloads; map accepted values explicitly.

Assignment

const enabled = payload.input.enabled === true;

await context.form.update({
  recordId: 'record-id',
  data: {
    enabled,
  },
});

Accepted input examples:

Input	Normalized Value
true	true
false	false
'true'	map explicitly to true
'false'	map explicitly to false

Common Operations

Operation	Use
value === true	Require an exact true value
value === false	Require an exact false value
!value	Invert a known boolean value
a && b	Require both boolean conditions
`a

value === true

Require an exact true value.

const confirmed = payload.input.confirmed === true;

value === false

Require an exact false value.

const canAutoSubmit = payload.input.requiresApproval === false;

!value

Invert a known boolean value.

const disabled = payload.input.enabled === false;
const enabled = !disabled;

a && b

Require both conditions to be true.

const amount = Number(payload.input.amount || 0);
const canAutoSubmit = payload.input.requiresApproval === false && amount < 1000;

a || b

Accept either condition.

const isManager = roleCodes.includes('manager');
const isSpaceAdmin = roleCodes.includes('space_admin');
const canApprove = isManager || isSpaceAdmin;

Parse External Boolean Values

function parseBoolean(value: unknown) {
  if (value === true || value === 'true') return true;
  if (value === false || value === 'false') return false;
  return null;
}

const requiresApproval = parseBoolean(payload.input.requiresApproval);
