I guess everything is in the title. It would be nice if what is described here Fusion 360 Help | Expression reference | Autodesk was also implemented in Design parameters. Is there a work around?

you are correct.  The Design workspace does not support Boolean as a parameter type.  As to "why?", I guess the answer is:  we just haven't gotten there yet.  To be honest, there has not been a lot of call for it, which is the "why" for why we haven't gotten to it yet.  There is no real workaround that I know of, sorry.

Thank you for your answer. The reason for the "why", is that it is implemented in Manufacture, so it seems doable to implement it also in Design.

I've seen a few posts for conditional test workarounds. Found one example here.
