A community member inquired about the official support for Boolean columns in ControlUp when written to via a PowerShell script. They noted that their script was functioning as expected, showing a dropdown with options for “true” and “false” instead of a plain text box for the Boolean field. This behavior indicates that Boolean fields are recognized and handled appropriately within the ControlUp system’s indexing and UI.
The confirmation came from multiple users, including a ControlUp expert, that Boolean fields are indeed supported. ControlUp’s platform supports defining columns with Boolean data types, enabling users to interact with these fields through dropdown selectors for true/false values, which enhances data consistency and ease of use.
This means that scripts or automation workflows that write Boolean values into ControlUp indexes can rely on native support for true/false states. This feature is useful for scenarios where binary states need to be tracked and toggled directly from the ControlUp interface without requiring manual text input.
For more detailed information on supported data types and scripting integration with ControlUp indexes, users can refer to the official ControlUp documentation at https://docs.controlup.com, and consider the ControlUp Academy (https://cuacademy.controlup.com) for deeper learning resources on scripting and data management in ControlUp.

Hi everyone, I have a PowerShell script that writes to an index where one of the columns is a boolean. It seems to be working, as I’m seeing a dropdown to choose between true and false instead of a text box.
Just checking if this is officially supported?
afaik, this is supported, but letting and keep me honest here
Yes, Boolean fields are supported
