It's the same with me, on a mac computer.
It is only the first time, if 1 & 0 is inserted, it is changed back to true & false, after that 1 & 0 can be inserted again.
But if you start with e.g. 5 & 3, they are accepted and there are no errors.

You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in

Thanks for flagging me, however, this has nothing to do with FlexDash
I just launched NR 3.0.1 with nothing but node-red-dashboard installed (all in a clean docker container). I dragged a button node into the flow, created the group & tab and deployed.
Then I dragged a switch node into the flow. First odd thing is that it has the warning triangle even though when you edit it everything looks fine. If I just click Done it continues to show the triangle and if I reopen the on/off values are highlighted.
Then I drag another button node in. It has the red triangle (not sure why). Open it and hit done and the triangle goes away.
If I edit the switch node I can't make it have the bad state again. If I drag a new switch node into the flow it also behaves correctly.
The whole thing is not trivial to reproduce, small changes in the order of actions makes the problem go away. If I had to place a bet it would be that there's a race condition due to the async loading of nodes...
This error is related in some way to the installation of Flexdash.
There is a simple and viable work-around
Well it's not trivial because it requires a clean Node-red installation which takes time. Simple and reproducible though.
On a fresh installation of Raspberry PiOS, with Node-red and node-red-dashboard, no VM, no Docker:
Steps to test for the problem:
Drag switch node onto editor
Create new dashboard tab and group
Enter Payload as number 1 and 0
Done
Does the node show the error notification?
If you go back into the config have the Payloads reverted to true and false?
On the fresh installation the switch node does not show an error.
cd ~/,node-red; npm install @flexdash/node-red-fd-corewidgets Now the error occurs.
cd ~/,node-red; npm uninstall @flexdash/node-red-fd-corewidgets The error persists.
What did I do to cause the error? I installed Flexdash.
I think that's just because a new dashboard node is not associated with a tab/group and is unrelated to this issue.
I don't understand "the async loading of nodes" but in the above tests there are no flows and no nodes deployed.
My guess is that there is a different version of a file common to Dashboard installed with Flexdash which leads to the error. I can't identify this file anywhere in ~/.node-red or /lib/node_modules.
I don't know where else to look.
I have not tested first installing Flexdash then Dashboard.
Rename it so that when node-red restarts it will make a new one with empty flows. Then after the tests you can remove the new one and rename the original back again. If there is nothing of importance in the current .node-red folder then you can just delete it.
After deleting the .node-red directory, the problem still occurs when a switch node is configured.
Same result after deleting .node-red and re-running the Node-red install script.
In fact I'm having trouble finding a circumstance in which the error does not show up.
There was a point yetsterday when I had one RPi showing the problem and one not.
Not any more. At some point I did sudo apt update && sudo apt -y full-upgrade, no idea if it's relevant, nor which packages were updated.
I have not reported it. I didn't think that "This happens but I can't really describe what triggers it" would be much use, and only one other person says they see the problem.
I can't test it at the moment as I am away. I thought we had determined that it can be reliably reproduced by removing the .node-red folder and restarting node red.
