Hello,

It seems like boolean inputs act as strings when used in a workflow_dispatch event, and as actual boolean variables when used in a reusable workflow (workflow_call).

For example, in one of my workflows, which acts on a workflow_dispatch event I use a boolean input "should_run_tests", which controls the tests step using an if condition on the step.
In order for it to behave as intended, I have to use the following condition
if: ${{ github.event.inputs.should_run_tests == "true" }}

And not as you would expect from a boolean:
if: ${{ github.event.inputs.should_run_tests }}

It seems like the boolean type affects only the input form because I can see a checkbox when trying to run the workflow, but the value passed to the workflow is the string representation "true" or "false".

Doing the same thing in a workflow_call event, the boolean values that are being passed from one workflow to the other really seem to be booleans, and can be tested as such without string comparison, which I think is the right way to handle these and that should be the same in workflow_dispatch events
