Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

I'm trying to write custom gcode to use the long retraction when cut setting overide in filament but the gcode is not parse if it is not toggled to on.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to be able to use placeholders from setting overides and if it's not toggled to overide, assume the value is false rathen than fail to parse.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Tried {if filament_long_retractions_when_cut[0] > 0}
Tried {if filament_long_retractions_when_cut[0] == true}
Tried {if filament_long_retractions_when_cut[0] == nil}
Tried {if is_defined(filament_long_retractions_when_cut)}
Various iterations of those above. All failed to parse when set to off/do not overide

Additional context

By toggled, I mean the setting override rather than the actual on or off value assosiated with the setting.
(Left toggle box, not right)
