Description
See discussion here: https://github.com/ImperialCollegeLondon/python-template/pull/500#pullrequestreview-3729280383
Seems like it's an upstream problem. Maybe this is a reason to move to `copier`, assuming it doesn't have the same bug.

Research direction
Start with the linked pull request discussion and reproduce the difficulty passing boolean options through the cookiecutter CLI. Investigate whether the behavior is upstream, then compare copier's handling of the same options. Done requires an agreed resolution, such as an upstream fix or a justified migration path.
