PXDBScalar SOOrderKvExt attribute bool - acumatica

Question

I'm trying to use PXDBScalar to bring in a boolean attribute from the Sales Order user defined fields tab to the Shipment screen.
I found another stack overflow post that helped with the creation of the SOOrderKvExt DAC, and I am able to retrieve the value of the valueNumeric (decimal) field via my PXDBScalar attribute, but I cannot find a way to convert the value to a bool so it properly displays as a checkbox on the screen. I tried setting the data type for my unbound field to bool, but got a data type conversion error. I also tried leaving the field as a decimal and just changing the control type on the screen, but it always displays as checked regardless of the value. Any idea how I can convert the decimal value to a bool in the PXDBScalar attribute or another solution?
Code snippets provided below.
SOOrderKvExt
[PXCacheName("SO Order Attributes")]
[Serializable]
public class SOOrderKvExt : IBqlTable
{
public abstract class recordID : BqlGuid.Field<recordID> { }
[PXDBGuid(IsKey = true)]
public Guid? RecordID { get; set; }
public abstract class fieldName : BqlString.Field<fieldName> { }
[PXDBString(50,IsKey = true)]
[PXUIField(DisplayName ="Name")]
public string FieldName { get; set; }
public abstract class valueNumeric : BqlDecimal.Field<valueNumeric> { }
[PXDBDecimal(8)]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Value Numeric")]
public decimal? ValueNumeric { get; set; }
public abstract class valueDate : BqlDateTime.Field<valueDate> { }
[PXDBDate]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Value Date")]
public DateTime? ValueDate { get; set; }
public abstract class valueString : BqlString.Field<valueString> { }
[PXDBString(256)]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Value String")]
public string ValueString { get; set; }
public abstract class valueText : BqlString.Field<valueText> { }
[PXDBString]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Value Text")]
public string ValueText { get; set; }
}
}
PXDBScalar
#region UsrSOBlindShip
[PXDecimal(8)]
[PXUIField(DisplayName="SO Blind Ship", IsReadOnly=true)]
[PXDBScalar(typeof(Search2<SOOrderKvExt.valueNumeric,
LeftJoin<SOOrder, On<SOOrder.noteID, Equal<SOOrderKvExt.recordID>>,
LeftJoin<SOShipLine, On<SOShipLine.origOrderNbr, Equal<SOOrder.orderNbr>>>>,
Where<SOShipLine.shipmentNbr, Equal<SOShipment.shipmentNbr>>>))]
public virtual decimal? UsrSOBlindShip{ get; set; }
public abstract class usrSOBlindShip: PX.Data.BQL.BqlDecimal.Field<usrSOBlindShip> { }
#endregion

I would add a boolean calculated field. Similar to this :
public class SOLineExt : PXCacheExtension<PX.Objects.SO.SOLine>
{
#region UsrIsZero
[PXBool]
[PXUIField(DisplayName="Is Zero")]
[PXFormula(typeof(Switch< Case<Where<SOLine.orderQty, Greater<decimal0>>, False>, True >))]
public virtual bool? UsrIsZero { get; set; }
public abstract class usrIsZero : PX.Data.BQL.BqlBool.Field<usrIsZero> { }
#endregion
}
