fields producing boolean values (radios or switch components) always invalid when `false`

Describe the bug on a field that has required: true, setting a boolean value makes the field valid only when is true (and invalid when it’s false)

Expected behavior the field should be invalid only when the value is null || undefined, if it is either true || false it’s a valid boolean value

Culprit of this behaviour is this line:
https://github.com/react-hook-form/react-hook-form/blob/master/src/logic/validateField.ts#L80

It states that “if a value is boolean, must be True, otherwise it is invalid”

Why is this behaviour in place?

Using version: 5.7.2

@hemadriDasari1990 can you please share your solution?

It has to be something like

validate: (value) => {
  if (value == null) {
    return "Please, choose a value"
  }
  return true
}

I’d suggest to simply provide a default radio / switch value, as these input controls are not designed to contain an undefined value

I overcome this issue by doing validations using validate function in rules
