Problem querying flexible attribute (bool)

[stef-121]

I’m experimenting with flexible attributes in beets and ran into an issue.

I declared a field in config.yaml like this:

types:
  isMix: bool

I can set it with beet modify isMix=true and I can display it with beet ls -f '$isMix'. So the field is definitely written to the database.

I can see it with beet ls -l 'path/file.mp3'.

The problem: I can’t query it. For example:
beet ls isMix:true or beet ls isMix:1
returns nothing.

Any advice from experienced beets users would be appreciated.

Ultimately, the problem was that when I executed the modification command with camelCase "isMix", beet mod isMix=1 or beet mod isMix=True beets couldn't find it even though it was written in SQL as "isMix",

but if I modified it with beet modify as "ismix", then it could query it and search for it with the list command.

It seemed strange to me, so I decided to share it in case it might be useful to someone in the future.
