QuestionBooleanModel

Gets or sets the question value as a Boolean value.

If you set the valueTrue and valueFalse properties, the value property contains their values instead of Boolean values. This may be inconvenient when you operate the question value in code. To access the standard Boolean values, use the booleanValue property.
