Boolean expression in filter gets "Cannot set BOOLEAN"

In 2.6 CloverETL, I have a data format with a boolean data element. I query data from a MySQL database with the column defined as boolean stored as BIT, and the query comes back with the data without error. When the data record gets to a filter, the filter expression is “$0.is_deleted”, a straight boolean expression referring to the data element. CloverETL aborts with the error, “Cannot set BOOLEAN - static class !”. Do filter expressions handle booleans like this? Is there some function I need to use?

Hello,
CloverETL 2.6 is old and not supported version. In few days we will release 3.0 version. In newer version it should work properly.
Do you use ExtFilter? What is a whole error message (stack trace if possible)?

I will upgrade to 3.0 when it comes out. I am using ExtFilter. If the problem recurs with 3.0 I will post the stack trace.
