Description
Describes a simple yes/no value. Unless the field has the required property set, it can actually have a third setting of unset. This can be useful as it distinguishes between a "False" and a "don't know/haven't filled this in yet". For example when asking if a paper is refereed, this is a boolean field. However it's not required as often someone isn't sure, and does not want to click "no" when that's not necessarily true.
