04/14/2022, 11:03 PMIt’s a little crazy. If your’e reading the value from the page in a client script running on the suitelet, it returns Boolean. If you’re attempting to set the default value when creating the form, it is “T” or “F”, and when you’re reading the value from the posted form data, it’s “T” or “F” or “” (if it was never set)

04/14/2022, 11:10 PMthe client script returned boolean true and then the parameter converted it to a string 'true' so that's what I had to evaluate for in the suitelet
