Really?  That is strange.  The freemarker documentation makes no mention of it, but then again netsuite isn’t on the latest version either.  Good to know.

<https://freemarker.apache.org/docs/dgui_template_exp.html#dgui_template_exp_comparison|https://freemarker.apache.org/docs/dgui_template_exp.html#dgui_template_exp_comparison> Both work but single  `=` is officially deprecated. FYI <@U2C4P9YR3>

may be deprecated but netsuite is behind and it works :disappointed:

It was just a shock to me that anyone would implement that operator like that

I guess you haven't programmed much in BASIC

I just found this in the <https://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/netsuitecs_gs/NSBLD/NSBLD.pdf|SuiteBuilder guide> (pg 197).
`tl;dr == checkbox field values are Booleans when visible and strings when hidden...`

It goes on further to say you should use this if you don't know the visibility of the field... _really!?_
```&lt;#if (record.checkboxfield?is_boolean &amp;&amp; record.checkboxfield) || (record.checkboxfield?is_string &amp;&amp;
 record.checkboxfield== "T")&gt;```
