Hello everyone, I have a RESTlet script that needs to be stopped if a certain condition is met. For example, the following will continue to execute the script for SO00001 even though its checkbox field is true. Please let me know what I should be looking over.

``` var accessoryPO = purchaseOrderRec.getValue({
    fieldId: 'custbody_accessory_po'
});

// Prints true for SO00001
// log.debug('accessoryPO', accessoryPO);

// Skip Accessory POs
if (accessoryPO == 'true') {
    return false; 
};```

you specifically are being affected by step 4

Thank you! I fixed by comparing true to true, instead of true to 'true'.

you dont usually want to compare a boolean to another boolean

for example
```if (accessoryPO == true) {
    return false; 
};```
is more concisely written as
```if (accessoryPO) {
    return false; 
};```

after that, boolean naming conventions like using the is or has prefix make more sense
```if (isAccessoryPO) {
    return false; 
};```
