Handling of checkboxes is different from Obsidians properties #851

Describe the bug

When I choose a folder as source that contains checkboxes as key/value pair in the yaml frontmatter, Dataloom puts in the following values: (checkbox: "true") for checked and (checkbox: "[ ]") for unchecked. Obsidian properties handles checkboxes this way: (checkbox: true) for checked and (checkbox: true) for unchecked; the checkbox values are not surrounded by quotation marks. Unfortunately, Dataloom overwrites the Obsidian format.

You can see this behaviour in my recording (sorry for the quality): 13-36-47 - Trim

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a folder with a note.
  2. Add a checkbox property to the note.
  3. Add this folder in a Loom as source.
  4. Add a new column with checkbox as type and use the checkbox frontmatter key.

Expected behavior

"checkbox" should have the following values: checkbox: true or checkbox: false
