I have created a Publish field in several tables. I used the Publish wizard. I also set the default value to 1.

In the backend i have created an item form and put the Publish field into the form.

Now when i save an item with the Publish radiobox to No it will save a value 1 (Yes).

The reason is in the code in the table class check() function:
When you look at the return values of the php empty function a zero is considered as empty:
Returns FALSE if var has a non-empty and non-zero value.

The following things are considered to be empty:

"" (an empty string)
0 (0 as an integer)
0.0 (0 as a float)
"0" (0 as a string)
NULL
FALSE
array() (an empty array)
var $var; (a variable declared, but without a value in a class)


I think in case of a boolean the check with empty(value) is not correct because 0 is the No value!

Try with:

if ($this->publish === null)

Ok, that works, maybe an idea to change this in the cook for boolean fields. When someone creates a boolean field in a form the same problem will occur.
