Describe the bug I'm using the "Update Field Value" action to copy the state of one checkbox to another. The second checkbox always gets checked no matter the state of the first one. This is only a problem using the handlebar notation, JS works fine. The same is true for relationship pickers.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a form with 2 checkboxes and a button.
2. Add an on-click action to the button as shown beloow
3. Check how clicking the button changes the target checkbox.

Expected behavior Clicking the button should change the second checkbox state to the first one's state.

hey @ksstms, by default handlebars will be returning "true" or "false" as strings rather than boolean type.

If you try {{ literal form.Fields.cb2 }} it might return the boolean type instead.

Thank you @andz-bb. For the record, the same solution applies to the relationship picker as well
