Creating a Switch to Convert 16-bit to 8-bit output using the 'Levels' node

Question

In Substance Designer, I want to convert a 16-bit node output to 8-bit using the 'Levels' node and at the same time, I want to create a switch that would allow this conversion quickly. I created a custom function as shown in the picture, but unfortunately, the switch does not work, as if it doesn't take the output from the Get Boolean node at all.

Although not listed specifically in the documentation, it looks like the output format bit depth is being treated as a static parameter (which is switchable from setting up the parameter but not in preview). A static parameter can be switched on editing the graph, but not on the fly after the graph is cooked. For the same reason it would not appear in a published sbsar.
