(Edit by @tech4him1 to format code.)

[tech4him1]

We've had requests on this before to not save if the field was optional -- just something to consider when fixing.

If not much trouble, Can this be addressed soon, Most of the logic on website depends on the Boolean property being true or false.

@siliconchild Feel free to submit a PR!

I can't reproduce this, the false value is output in the yaml string whether set by default and untouched or toggled to false.
