Never mind - got it working. I needed to specify *ng-true-value* and *ng-false-value* to strings that Java's *Boolean.parseBoolean()* can understand.
Now the only thing left is fixing the issue that my *number* input is not set to the value from the XML (although it is being saved correctly) when opening the task config view. It's always empty (showing the placeholder) instead of displaying the value from the XML config.
