user defined category not showing up on tag browser

[straylight]

Hello,

I have a user defined category (Yes/No) that doesn't appear on the tag browser. I have other defined categories that appear with no issues but not my yes/no one. any ideas on how to make it appear?

Booleans don't appear on the tag browser.

There's a workaround that you can use a composite column (column built from other column) and tick the 'show in tag browser' button. Something like this should work.

program:
	if
		check_yes_no('#mybool', 1, 0, 0)
	then
		'Undefined'

	elif
		check_yes_no('#mybool', 0, 1, 0)
	then
		'No'
	
	elif
		check_yes_no('#mybool', 0, 0, 1)
	then
		'Yes'
	fi

Another workaround is to use "Text with a fixed set of permitted values" with "Show Checkmarks" ticked.

That worked. Thank you
