Channel Plugin Config Option of type Boolean is stored as a string in the database

[oxzi]

After creating a channel plugin with the following shortened config_attrs value in the available_channel_type table, the stored config in the channels table looks like this.

• available_channel_type.config_attrs:

[
  {
    "name": "tls_insecure",
    "type": "bool",
    "label": {
      "de_DE": "Keine TLS-Verifizierung",
      "en_US": "No TLS Verification"
    },
    "help": {
      "de_DE": "Führe keine TLS-Verifizierung durch. Dies vermag unsicher zu sein.",
      "en_US": "Skip TLS verification. This might be insecure."
    },
    "default": false,
    "min": null,
    "max": null
  }
]

• config.channels:

{
  "tls_insecure": "n"
}

The boolean value will be stored as a string of either "y" or "n" instead of an expected JSON boolean.
