In this case I'm actually looking to see if a string is being passed (show it one way) a number (show it a second way) or a boolean is being passed (show a third way: ✓ or 𐄂 ). Otherwise yes, coercing would be trivially easy :-). My solution is to have a manual setting index for display method, rather than auto-detection which is always preferable from a noodling POV.

Thanks

There was some discourse about the boolean thing on-list where cwright assured that the representation of the boolean didn't make a difference, at least in far as it's ultimate effect. It never has for me.

Can you somehow use a string multiplexer to coerce a string output from your numeric value? For example, placing "False" in input 0, and "True" in input 1, and using your current 0/1 to trigger?

Later on I want to test the object and say, if this is a Bool display result as True (✓) and False (𐄂) not just 0 or 1. Seems like it can't be don't and I need to workaround it.
