Add Support for Bit Data Type in Replicate (SQL Server Target)

A majority of my task in Qlik Replicate consist of a PostgreSQL source replicating to a SQL Server target. If my PostgreSQL source has a boolean data type, replicate converts that to a varchar(5) and I am having to manually go into my target SQL Server databases and convert all the varchar(5) columns to bit. SQL Server then is able to do an implicit conversion when it receives a true/false from Qlik Replicate and convert the value to 1/0. I currently have ~80 task where I am having to do this manual conversion. 

My understanding is that PostgreSQL and SQL Server are mature endpoints for Qlik/Attunity, so I don't understand why I am having to do this manual conversion. Am I the only one with this issue? How has this not been solved already?
