That code is correct.

As false is the default value for bool, I can only assume that there is an error in the property name. includeButton. Is the casing correct?

You can check the alias name on the document type, to make sure it's not IncludeButton or includebutton etc.

I assume item is part of a loop? If the alias is correct can you supply the full code?

Hi Darren,

The alias is correct. Here is a complete piece of code:

@{
   var whoweareLinks = Model.Value<IEnumerable<IPublishedElement>>("whoweareLinks");
   foreach(var linkBtn in whoweareLinks) {
      var content = linkBtn.Value<IPublishedContent>("link");
      if(content != null){
         var bg = linkBtn.Value<bool>("blueBackground");
         var btnClass = bg ? "Button Button--navy mr-4 mb-4" : "Button mr-4 mb-4";
         <a href="@content.Url" class="@btnClass">@linkBtn.Value("label")</a>    
      }
    }
 }

And here is a screenshot of my button component:

Sorry, I can't recreate this.

I have set up a button element similar to yours:

recreated your code:

@{
     var whoweareLinks = Model.Value<IEnumerable<IPublishedElement>>("components");
     foreach (var linkBtn in whoweareLinks)
     {
          var bg = linkBtn.Value<bool>("blueBackground");
          <p>@bg</p>
     }
 }

and I see the correct values on the screen.

True/False

All of this is on version 8.0.1

Umbraco 8 now uses nuCache for published content. So if you are sure the content is definitely published, maybe you could look at the cache:

I have no idea it's proper weird. The checkbox is working when I add a simple checkbox property on my document type, but not working when it's coming from a component in a nested content.

Do you have multiple languages on your site? You can pass in the culture info to get the correct version:

linkBtn.Value<bool>("blueBackground", "culture" )

If this occured after you have added a new bool to a document type, I fixed it by running "Reload Memory Cache" on Settings > Dashboard > Published Status

(On Umbraco 8.7)
