To convert a custom_info.isServer field with a value of “true” to a real Boolean, writing the result to the same source field:
source : custom_info.isServerdestination: <not set>
The source value:
"custom_info" : {
"isServer" : "true"
}is replaced by the equivalent Boolean:
"custom_info" : {
"isServer" : true
}
