Optional

Boolean Support

When converting from LUA to JSON, select Yes to turn on support for Boolean values (variables set to true, false, and null are all converted correctly into corresponding JSON objects).

Yes | No

Optional

False value (default nil)

(pre Release 7.4)

Booleans are not converted automatically from JSON to LUA format in LogicNets pre Release 7.4. Therefore, a Boolean in JSON is converted into a LUA data object with the following override.
- A Boolean with the value true is converted to 1.
- A Boolean with the value false is converted to nil by default. This means that the variable is not available/saved in the LogicNets context. 

If you want the variable to be available in LogicNets, you can specify the value manually in this field.
