The following tables summarize the mapping of UDF/custom field types.
The LIMS and API treat the toggle switch field type as boolean when its value is set to true or false. However, it is possible to configure a toggle switch to not have to set a boolean true / false value. In this case, the value of the field is None Set and the field is treated as a 'nonexistent' field. To make sure that a toggle switch value has been set, you can use the hasValue function. For details, see Handling Non-Existent UDFs/Custom Fields.
