Policy "SavingBrowserHistoryDisabled" not applied: "Expected boolean value."

Reported by devwatch...@gmail.com, May 6 2018 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.139 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Delete chromium history
2. As per https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#SavingBrowserHistoryDisabled and https://www.chromium.org/administrators/linux-quick-start , create policy /etc/chromium/policies/managed/foo.json with content:    
{
   "SavingBrowserHistoryDisabled":"true"
}
3. Restart chromium browser, open a few websites and watch the history "Ctrl+H". History still being saved. 
4. Navigate to chrome://policy and watch the policy status: "Expected boolean value." I also tried the values "True", "TRUE", "1".

What is the expected behavior?
History shouldn't be saved.

What went wrong?
Browsing History is still being saved.

Did this work before? N/A

Status: WontFix (was: Unconfirmed)
Try 

{
   "SavingBrowserHistoryDisabled":true
}

with no quotes around true. chrome://policy should show the status as OK (currently your video show "Expected boolean value.").

Please reopen the bug if this doesn't fix it.
