Description

I can't select my schema in Schema Designer tab in Admin UI.

It happens only when I disable automatic field guessing (according to this syntax reported in the code snippet below)

The following errors are logged:

• [AnnotatedApi]: Error executing command
• [HttpSolrCall]: java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.String cannot be cast to class java.lang.Boolean (java.lang.String and java.lang.Boolean are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')

I can reproduce the bug with an example configuration:

./bin/solr start -e cloud -noprompt

./bin/solr config -c gettingstarted -p 8983 -action set-user-property -property update.autoCreateFields -value false

Now go to Schema Designer and select the gettingstarted schema: you shouldn't be able to open it.

Replacing false with "false" (with quotes) doesn't change the final result.
