But! A toggle outputs ANY input number including the toggle in help file! My version is 5.1.0 .

Messages:

int – The number is sent out the outlet. If the number is not 0, toggle displays an X, showing it is on. If it is 0, toggle is blank, showing it is off.

It doesn’t say anything about the output being restricted to 1.

But if the output will be restricted to 1 in future versions, it would be better. Because that just bypass is quite useless for messages.

Would you like a number box to restrict the value by default? toggle is like a number that simply shows if the value is to be interpreted as true (i.e. non-zero) or false (zero).

There are 20 years of patches that might rely on its existing behavior.
