CXone Studio IF action failing on ASSIGN boolean evaluation

So I’m seeing a very odd bug with CXone Studio branching. I assign a boolean via ASSIGN then use IF to route, but it always hits the else branch.

“The IF action evaluates the condition to a boolean value.”

My JSON looks like this:

{
 "actions": [
 {
 "actionType": "ASSIGN",
 "variableName": "isVIP",
 "value": "${contact.attributes.isVIP}"
 },
 {
 "actionType": "IF",
 "condition": "${isVIP} == true"
 }
 ]
}

Why is ${isVIP} not evaluating correctly?
