Hello, I am trying to provide a boolean variable value to graphql request, like http://instance?query;default=true 

what I am seeing is, it treats the true as a string and not boolean, what can I do so that it is interpreted as a boolean in AEM graphql ? (FYI, i am calling AEM from scala code and the query is formed and called in scala)

Boolean parameters in Persisted Queries is working correctly in AEM 6.5 and AEM as a Cloud Service up to version 2023.7.0. However, issue started from version 2023.8.0 and persists in the latest release.

Hi,

  1. GraphQL Query with Boolean Variable:

    In your GraphQL query, define the variable with the appropriate type, which in this case is Boolean.

    query MyQuery($default: Boolean) {
    yourQueryField(default: $default) {
    # Your query fields here
    }
    }

    yes in the persisted query, the variable is defined with the required field type, the issue is when it reads the parameter passed default = true, it interprets as String, the query expects it to be boolean and thus throws exception that there is a type mismatch, Variable 'default' has an invalid value: Expected a Boolean input, but it was a String 

    So my question is how can I force the interpretation from string to boolean
