True and False in Expression Editor

By Hans Bruins on 1 Mar 2016

A no-brainer: having the possibillity in the Expression Editor to click on a true or false button to have the text.
Just like you have now with the null identifiers.
Yes, its lazy but that's the common thread with developers :)

Even though I am lazy, i never click on those :P

Besides that, nothing against it

Simple to implement, and has the advantage of letting beginners know what are the boolean literals by pressing the buttons on the first times they need them. :)

I'm pretty sure I created this idea years ago. Let's search... Yes, it's there twice. Here and here.

It would be useful if the Expression Editor had a shortcut button "True"/"False" in the choices:

Actually we can edit almost everything by clicking mouse, but we always have to write the boolean condition.

This is a double of this one, and recently there is this one. They should all be merged.

We have quite a number of booleans in our tables, and I very often have to type "true" or "false". Since there's already a "null" button, adding True and False button shouldn't be too difficult, and it would safe the user from having to move their hand from the mouse to the keyboard and back again.

Also see this idea: http://www.outsystems.com/ideas/Idea_View.aspx?IdeaId=1556 which would eliminate the need for this idea :).
