use_shipping_address_for_billing is stored as string while cp panel needs a boolean

[de-raaf-media]

Hi there,

I have a hidden field which contains true or false depending on the "use shipping address for billing".

In the JSON data of orders (I store orders as entries) the value is now:

"use_shipping_address_for_billing": "false"

In the CP this value needs to be a Boolean. How do I make sure this is stored as a boolean instead of a string?

Regards,
Mark

What does the hidden field look like in your Antlers template?

I use the following inputs depending on the checkbox state (with quotes around the value has the same result). I also tried true false with and without quotes:

<input style="visibility: visible; position: relative" type="text" name="use_shipping_address_for_billing" value=1>
<input style="visibility: visible; position: relative" type="text" name="use_shipping_address_for_billing" value=0>

Hmm, I'm not sure, I'll need to give it a go myself when I have some time.

Maybe try value="on" / value="off"?

Fantastic! It works. Thanks a lot @duncanmcclean!
