Extension attribute of boolean type case issues for UI implementation in Admin Panel

[swnsma]

Summary

Ui Data provider do not support boolean values for extension attributes. To make it properly working on frontend, you need to manually cast boolean to corresponding integer in string. For not-extension attributes it works fine. Reference where convertation take a place for not-extension attributes https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/2bca2aa1a6c1828c379bb9c75db2810a92cd3d37/app/code/Magento/Ui/DataProvider/SearchResultFactory.php#L98

Examples (*)

There issue was faced in PRs:

• https://github.com/magento-engcom/msi/pull/2044
• https://github.com/magento-engcom/msi/pull/2125 What you need to face this issue: 1) Create extension attribute with boolean type for entity with adminhtml form (e.g. tap) 2) Add this extension attribute to the edit form and listing (e.g. tap) 3) Without manual convertation bool -> string -> int, field will not work properly on edit form. (e.g. tap).

Proposed solution

Check if we can add convertation for nested attributes in https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/2bca2aa1a6c1828c379bb9c75db2810a92cd3d37/app/code/Magento/Ui/DataProvider/SearchResultFactory.php#L98
