Steps to Reproduce

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is a bug or limitation.

Here is the output to a device via the API for the custom data we add:

"custom_fields": {
    "Maintenance_ID": "8554926",
    "Maintenance": "Astracom",
    "TEST_boolean": true,
    "zabbix_hostid": null,
    "zabbix_proxy_group": null

I've set the "TOC_boolean" to true

Then saved it and I get no trigger.

In the event rule I have

{
    "and": [
        {
            "attr": "custom_fields.TEST_boolean",
            "value": true
        }
    ]
}
,,,

See anything wrong or can this not be done with custom data?

Thanks

### Expected Behavior

Event should be created
