Comment (by subrataemfluence):

 Although `false` is not being recognized a value 0 is actually adding /
 updating record in the table. So it is only Boolean `false` which is not
 working! I am under an impression that this value has a conflict somewhere
 in the function!

 `true` - works. Value added is 1
 `1` - works. Value added is 1
 `false` - does not work - No record added
 `0` - works - Value added is 0
 `'true'` - works. Value added is 'true'
 `'false'` - works. Value added is 'false'
