  Date of Client Deadline: ASAP
  
  Environment
  Change 5.3.1.1.005 and Synergy 7.2.1.4.001
  
  Prerequisites:
  
  1. Add the following line in the file task_framework.cfg:
  
  
  [CCM_ATTRIBUTE][NAME]noreltransfer[/NAME][ALIAS]No
  Rel-Transfer[/ALIAS][TYPE]CCM_TOGGLE[/TYPE][/CCM_ATTRIBUTE]
  
  
  2. Change the file create_associated_task.js:  added line

  Steps to Reproduce:
  
  To reproduce error
  
  1. In Change a task is created by means of the script
  create_associated_task.js.
  
  2. This script creates a task, and also, creates an attribute on
  the
  task named noreltransfer and sets it value to 'true'.
  
  3. The script is not able to set it to 'TRUE' but instead sets
  it to true.
  
  4. In Synergy, when a user selects the tick box "No
  Rel-Transfer", the
  intention is to change the value to FALSE?
  This fails with an error.
