Public bug reported:

bool fields in the database may have 3 values : true, false, null

the web client can only filter true and false

hence the resources with a bool field = null can not be filtered

I doubt that many users can distinguish between null and false -
especially as this is not "visible" in any of the clients. - in both
cases the bool field is "empty"

suggestion:
automatically set bool fields to false if not explicitly set to true.

BTW
I accept the argument, that a bool field can be "not defined" (null)  - but in this case the clients must handle this in an understandable and distinguishable way.
