Using the following code example

```js
const uppy = Uppy.Core({ /* ... */ });
uppy.use(XHRUpload, {
  endpoint: /* ... */,
  fieldName: 'file',
  formData: true,
  bundle: false,
});

const myValue = true;
uppy.setMeta({ myValue });

```

If `myValue` is `true` or `"true"` it’s always sent as

```auto
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="myValue"

on

```

Why is it like this and can this be disabled?
