that looks like a string value, not a bool
be sure to select the proper True/False options from the dropdown (boolean)

Hi @kenkarma! You need to use the Static Value False in Toddle. Otherwise,, you will get a string with the value "false". And a non-empty string is truthy in Javascript. Here is how you set the initial value for your variable: Click on the Formula Icon, search for "false" and pick that value. You will see that the Output says False, without the quotes.
