Claude Brisson commented on VELTOOLS-210:
-----------------------------------------

A test under 1.7 of the following template gave "key value false", so I cou=
ld not reproduce your issue.
{code:java}
#set($key1 =3D "value")#set($value =3D "key value false")
#if(${key1} =3D=3D 1 || "yes" )
=C2=A0 #set($value =3D "key value true")
#end
${value}
 {code}
