I’ve imported a number of digital input tags into SQLTags as Booleans which I was going to display on the screen using the colour of a number of shapes e.g. the fill colour of a circle. I’ve found however that FPMI doesn’t like this - it expects an integer value to animate against the colour table.

Am I missing something obvious, or do I have to use an expression (or change the datatype of the imported tag). Can the system be changed to see ‘True’ and ‘False’ as 1 and 0?

This was a bug and is fixed in FPMI 3.1.1
