Yii framework generated forms field types dont corespond to database

Question

I am using gii to generate CRUD operations for a large number of tables, but the generated form uses a text box for the boolean data types instead of the checkbox

In my table model I modified the rules function to use a boolean validator for my fields

public function rules() {
 return array(
  ...
  array('single, random, public', 'boolean'),
  ...
 );
}

but the generated form still uses a text box instead of a checkbox, any idea why ?
