Define a string option:
[Option('e', "engineering", SetName = "console", Required = false, HelpText = "Flag whether the build is engineering build", ")]
public string Engineering { get; set; }
It is intended to support not only "true" and "false" values and therefore is not boolean (and also not an enum, because it gives us less flexibility)
When you call the executable with "-e true", you receive:
Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: Object of type 'System.Boolean' c
annot be converted to type 'System.String'.

I think it should be possible to assign ANY text value to a string object, it should not be limited by automatic type recognition.
