Rails- Checkbox not turning true - ruby-on-rails

Question

I've added a checkbox to my Rails project. When the user marks tradeablestatus while creating a book, it should write true, but it is happening false regardless.
books/_form.html.erb
<%= form_with(model: book, local: true) do |form| %>
<% if book.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(book.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this book from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% book.errors.full_messages.each do |message| %>
<li><%= message %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<p> If you want your book to be available, tick the status and if you want your book to be tradeable, tick the tradeablestatus. </p>
<div class="field">
<%= form.label :title %>
<%= form.text_field :title %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= form.label :author %>
<%= form.text_field :author %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= form.label :pagecount %>
<%= form.number_field :pagecount %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= form.label :status %>
<%= form.check_box :status %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= form.label :tradeablestatus %>
<%= form.check_box :tradeablestatus %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= form.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
tradeablestatus migration (I added the tradeablestatus later as a migration. But I don't know if I should add this to book migration)
class AddTradeableStatusToBooks < ActiveRecord::Migration[6.0]
def change
add_column :books, :tradeablestatus, :boolean
end
end
schema.rb (I suspect it is caused by default: false, null: false)
ActiveRecord::Schema.define(version: 2020_10_28_092816) do
# These are extensions that must be enabled in order to support this database
enable_extension "plpgsql"
create_table "books", force: :cascade do |t|
t.string "title"
t.string "author"
t.integer "pagecount"
t.boolean "status"
t.datetime "created_at", precision: 6, null: false
t.datetime "updated_at", precision: 6, null: false
t.integer "user_id"
t.string "username"
t.boolean "tradeablestatus", default: false, null: false
end
create_table "comments", force: :cascade do |t|
t.string "title"
t.string "content"
t.bigint "user_id", null: false
t.bigint "book_id", null: false
t.datetime "created_at", precision: 6, null: false
t.datetime "updated_at", precision: 6, null: false
t.boolean "status", default: false, null: false
t.index ["book_id"], name: "index_comments_on_book_id"
t.index ["user_id"], name: "index_comments_on_user_id"
end
create_table "users", force: :cascade do |t|
t.string "email", default: "", null: false
t.string "encrypted_password", default: "", null: false
t.string "reset_password_token"
t.datetime "reset_password_sent_at"
t.datetime "remember_created_at"
t.datetime "created_at", precision: 6, null: false
t.datetime "updated_at", precision: 6, null: false
t.string "username"
t.index ["email"], name: "index_users_on_email", unique: true
t.index ["reset_password_token"], name: "index_users_on_reset_password_token", unique: true
end
add_foreign_key "comments", "books"
add_foreign_key "comments", "users"
end

Hello) 👋 If u want to receive "true" or "false" on your back-end side u should check this first https://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/FormHelper/check_box.
There are smth like check_box("puppy", "gooddog", {}, "yes", "no").
Yes and no means that if checkbox are checked then yes value goes to back-end side otherwise no goes to back-end side. U should replace this values with yours)
If problem will not go then post your controller code please)
