Set On-Demand Input for Data Table Column with a Boolean Data Type

Currently it seems that, when setting a data table to load data "on-demand", it is not possible to set an input for data columns for the table that have a "Boolean" data type.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but it would be useful to be able to also use these "Boolean" data type columns as filter parameters for the data table when it loads data "on-demand".

    If I'm not mistaken the Boolean data type arrived in the SQL standard in 1999 and as of 2024 also Oracle supports it. So I think time is ripe to fully support it in Spotfire. And of course it is kind of confusing if the data type is supported in Spotfire everywhere except for in on-demand, feels like an incomplete implementation and as you can see from the comment above, users think it might even be a bug or, as in my case, they search for a long time as they believe it must be there.
