Retrieving yes/no field from Sharepoint in powerapps using Radio buttons

I have a radio button with option yes/no that update a Sharepoint yes/no column.

The user must select yes or no.  Leaving it blank is not the same as no.  I'm converting this from infopath and Sharepoint 2010 to powerapps and Sharepoint online, so perhaps radio buttons are not appropriate.

The items property of the radio buttons is ["Yes","No"]

The default property of the radio buttons is ThisItem.IsThereACarAllowance

The update property of the datacard is RadIsThereACarAllowance.Selected.Value

The default property of the datacard is ThisItem.IsThereACarAllowance

 

I can insert the chosen item into Sharepoint.

When I try to retrieve the current record no radio buttons are checked.  In other words it thinks the Sharepoint field is blank.  What should I do?

    I put this as the default property and it worked.

    If(ThisItem.IsThereACarAllowance = true,"Yes","No")

    How would I get the radio buttons to retrieve the value from the single line of text?

    @AlHal2 

    I figured that.  See my changed solution above.

    @AlHal2 

    Others may disagree but the simplest solution is to change the yes/no type column in SharePoint to single line of text.
