My Mautic version is: 5.1.1  
My PHP version is: 8.2.24

My problem is:  
Campaign action Update contact can only change boolean contact fields from No to Yes, not from Yes to No

### What happened?

if I want to change the value of a boolean field per campaign, it should work in both directions as before in Mautic 4: yes to no or no to yes - in Mautic 5 only no to yes is possible in campaigns

### How can we reproduce this issue?

Step 1: create a custom booelan field  
Step: 2: create a campaign that updates the contact (change field value to yes)
