Showing Yes/No fields on a printed School Form as Yes/No instead of True/False

Currently, Yes/No items on our School Forms are printing as True/False. While I understand that this is how it is coded in the system, I believe it is confusing to users who are not familiar with what True and False refer to. It would be much more straightforward if the printed answer was a Yes or No just like it is on the live form.

    PLEASE! We just started using the new Teacher Recommendation forms which were a headache to set up to begin with, and now the language that comes through doesn't match what's on the form which were were blindsided by once people started actually using them. My Admissions Committee (mostly teachers) are beyond frustrated. I'm frustrated by Blackbaud's lame excuse for why this can't be made better.

    Agreed! It just doesn't make sense. This should be an easy change.

    Agreed.  I think Blackbaud's answer that "this is hard coded" is woefully inadequate.  Our parents sign back-to-school forms for legal reasons and we ask many Yes/No questions.  Unfortunately we live in a litigious society (speaking from experience with our school) and it's IMPORTANT that parents can print a signed & submitted form with the accurate information that they filled out.  They clicked Yes or No NOT True or False.  It's misleading and makes us (the school) look poorly.  This is something Blackbaud really needs to fix and not use "coding" as an excuse.  Sadlys this has already been here for 2 years and only has 12 votes so I'm not very optimistic this will be treated as an important request. : (
