variable values to graphql query

[prachimarathe]

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)

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

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.
