Public bug reported:
bool fields in the database may have 3 values : true, false, null
the web client can only filter true and false
hence the resources with a bool field = null can not be filtered
I doubt that many users can distinguish between null and false -
especially as this is not "visible" in any of the clients. - in both
cases the bool field is "empty"
suggestion:
automatically set bool fields to false if not explicitly set to true.
BTW
I accept the argument, that a bool field can be "not defined" (null) - but in
this case the clients must handle this in an understandable and distinguishable
way.
