Switch node not accepting string as output

[koos147]

I used the script to install "4.0.9: Maintenance Release" on a raspberry pi 2 B After this i installed the "node-red-dashboard 3.6.5" from within the web gui.

When i add a switch its default is

I will change this to the string 1 and 0 (not a number) When i save this and re-open the node. it shows

As a workaround i tried to export the node config

When importing this the value looks good, but the node isn't working.

I am not sure, see the pull request is open. I am not a die hard user. do i need to test something or is it best to wait for the next release?
