Workaround This bug is not unique to just "public" but also to any keyword in Java. Workaround for new columns is to avoid using a Java keyword as the column name.

Workaround for existing columns is to remove the condition on the acl and create an equivalent script that uses current.getValue(' ') for the logic. E.g., for a column named 'public', this is an equivalent script:

answer = current.getValue('public') == true;
