Hi,
Well the question is in the title.
I created a column for boolean values in the datalab, but anything I try to input in it (True, TRUE, true, 1) is rejected. Any advice?
Best,
Clement

How do you input it? The UI displays a checkbox.

Thanks - my mistake.
I had selected "BooleanList" by mistake, instead of "Boolean".
Is there a page which explains what this "list" format is, btw?
Best,
Clement

Hi,
For any list type, elements are separated with commas so for example true,false,true is valid for a BooleanList.

Hi,
Well there are list types for all simple types because it could be useful to someone.
Though BooleanList is not as natural as integer, these list types can lead to interesting visualizations or statistics like nice sparklines

Of course ideas are welcome!

Ok I get it, thx!
That would be nice to see how these lists could have a visual translation in the overview panel, too. For the moment I don't see how...
best,
Clement
