Boolean tag parsing and display in Sentry UI

[adinauer]

Discussed in getsentry/sentry-java#2467

^{Originally posted by EricCraigen January 11, 2023}
When setting the value of a tag to any of the following:

"False"
"FALSE"
"FalSe"
"True"
"TRUE"
"TrUe"

The tags are not presented in the UI as a boolean value, yet all of these values could successfully be parsed into a boolean value.

I have a few questions surrounding this:

1. Is this intended?
2. If so, why so specific that only "true" or "false" will successfully be parsed to a boolean type to be presented in the UI differently?
3. What is the purpose of treating boolean tags differently? (colored tag background) No other tags are treated this way.

For more details please refer to the discussion. Transferring this to sentry repo as it's related to UI, not SDK.

This issue has gone three weeks without activity. In another week, I will close it.

But! If you comment or otherwise update it, I will reset the clock, and if you label it Status: Backlog or Status: In Progress, I will leave it alone ... forever!
