Boolean value keeps evaluating as false

Hello everyone, I'm trying to do something like this:

vars:
  with_elastic:
    sh: |
      echo "{{.CLI_ARGS}}" | grep -q "elastic" && echo true || echo false
  repos:
    - name: devops-config
      branch: "main"
      clone: true
    - name: "dev-deps"
      branch: "main"
      clone: true
    - name: "elastic-data"
      branch: "main"
      clone: '{{.with_elastic}}'

  reusable-checkout-repo:
    desc: "Reusable task to clone a repo"
    label: "checkout-{{.repo_name}}"
    internal: true
    silent: true
    dir: "{{.tmp_dir}}"
    status:
      - test -d {{.repo_name}}
    cmds:
        - |
          echo {{.repo_name}}:{{.clone}}

  checkout-repos:
    desc: "Checkout dev-deps and devops-config repos"
    dir: "{{.tmp_dir}}"
    # internal: true
    silent: true
    cmds:
      - |
        echo "CLI Args: {{.CLI_ARGS}}"
        echo "{{.CLI_ARGS}}" | grep -q "elastic" && echo true || echo false
      - for: { var: repos, as: repo }
        task: reusable-checkout-repo
        vars: { repo_name: "{{.repo.name}}", repo_branch: "{{.repo.branch}}", clone: "{{.repo.clone}}" }

vars:
  with_elastic:
    sh: |
      echo "{{.CLI_ARGS}}" | grep -q "elastic" && echo true || echo false
  repos:
    - name: devops-config
      branch: "main"
      clone: true
    - name: "dev-deps"
      branch: "main"
      clone: true
    - name: "elastic-data"
      branch: "main"
      clone: '{{.with_elastic}}'

  reusable-checkout-repo:
    desc: "Reusable task to clone a repo"
    label: "checkout-{{.repo_name}}"
    internal: true
    silent: true
    dir: "{{.tmp_dir}}"
    status:
      - test -d {{.repo_name}}
    cmds:
        - |
          echo {{.repo_name}}:{{.clone}}

  checkout-repos:
    desc: "Checkout dev-deps and devops-config repos"
    dir: "{{.tmp_dir}}"
    # internal: true
    silent: true
    cmds:
      - |
        echo "CLI Args: {{.CLI_ARGS}}"
        echo "{{.CLI_ARGS}}" | grep -q "elastic" && echo true || echo false
      - for: { var: repos, as: repo }
        task: reusable-checkout-repo
        vars: { repo_name: "{{.repo.name}}", repo_branch: "{{.repo.branch}}", clone: "{{.repo.clone}}" }

The end goal is to clone a repo if a specific argument was passed to the CLI. Testing it with:

task checkout-repos -- elastic

task checkout-repos -- elastic

Gives me:

CLI Args: elastic
true
devops-config:true
dev-deps:true
elastic-data:false

CLI Args: elastic
true
devops-config:true
dev-deps:true
elastic-data:false

So the actual grep that I pass in the sh of with_elastic evaluates to be true, while the final result of calling {{.with_elastic}} is false. Why? And how do I do it correctly?
