 </if>

Testing a boolean field

Boolean fields can be TRUE, FALSE or an empty string, the last of which means neither the true or false option has been selected. Just doing a test="boolean_field" isn't enough. Use this:

 <if test="boolean_field = 'TRUE'">
   ...
 </if>

If you want to test if neither a true or false option has been selected, you will need to use:

 <if test="boolean_field = ''">
   ...
 </if>
