Designer Filter to Painter. Exposed bool parameter appear as integer selector. Why?

So this is how it looks like in Designer:
Switch is set to "Side-by-side button". Designer Preview section also looks correct.

But as soon as I import this to Painter that bool variable for some reason appear as integer selector instead of expected 2 buttons

Im not sure i get your question correctly. It does work technically, i.e. if I set those "Switch" integer value to 0 it will be for sure interpreted as "false" and integer 1 will gives "true".
So technically - it works, but from UI point of view it doesnt make any sence since in designer the variable are clearly declared as type = boolean, but for wierd reason painter take it as integer and create those ugly numerical switch.

AlexandrL Thanks ,its exactly what I asked about because I often can't make it work at all or even export from Designer. Only something very basic . Any custom node, pixel or value processor and its almost zero chance . For your case it just follows basic logic : zero in no, one is yes. The rest is UI decoration.
