Is there a way to set the default state of a boolean to (false)?

I'm wondering this too

For documents you can use initial value templates (https://www.sanity.io/docs/initial-value-templates ). For objects you can't

Make sure your front-end code treats a missing boolean value as false.

In GROQ you can handle missing booleans and false values equally like this
*[_type == 'story' && featured != true]
which would match stories where featured is false or missing (or to be fair, any other value that is not
true
).
