How can we add BOOLEAN datatype in mysql query browser?

I am trying to add a BOOLEAN column using EDIT TABLE in mysql workbench, but it automatically changes to TINYINT on applying changes.

How can I get the column to be BOOLEAN?

BOOL and BOOLEAN are synonyms of TINYINT in MySQL. See MySQL docs: Numeric Type Overview

You probably want to use the BIT datatype.
