Ok, I'll hopefully give you the full report this time :)

Dirstudio 2.0.0.v20130131
on Java 1.7.0_15 64bit
on Windows 7 64 bit

Connected to Active Directory, 
Search for a User record, open detail
Doubleclick to edit the boolean msExchHideFromAddressLists, 
 was set to "TRUE"
Type  "false" then hit Enter
results in the following error
====
Error while executing LDIF -[LDAP: eror code21 -00000057: LdapErr: DSID-0C90B8A, comment: Error in attribute conversion operation, data, v1db1
====
(see attachment [^LowerCaseFalseError.PNG] 

Repeating this operation using uppercase "FALSE" changes the value

> In inline editor won't accept lowercase strings for AD boolean values.  "true" and "false" aren't accepted.  This was a bit unexpected so I started looking for other problems.  A more relaxed approach could accept lower case values, or maybe even things like "t", "T", "f", 'F', "1", "0", "yes", "Y", "NO", ...
> A simple attribute editor for booleans would be a help to confirm/force a valid change.  This becomes an issue if the change is not accepted for some reason, you aren't left wondering if you entered something invalid.
