login user action - how to capture failure

redirect users after login success or failure.

Overview

The problem is that the ChronoForms login user action returns a true/false value, but the event switcher wasn't properly capturing it to trigger different redirects.
Configure the event switcher action to read the correct return variable and set separate redirect events for the true and false outcomes.

I try to establish a function where user is redirected after succesfull login to designated place and if login fails user is redirected back to login form.

Chronoforms "login user" action seems to return.

 [joomla_login5] => false

in case of failure and true when login succeeds.

I try to capture that with event switcher reading {var:joomla_login5} and events false and true. However this does not seem to work.

How could i establish wanted functionality?
