Remove checkbox selection in Column Info window

I can't for the life of me find documentation on how to uncheck a box in the column info window through jsl.

 

I'm trying to set a column data type to "Precision" and I don't want "Keep trailing zeroes" selected. 

 

When I run the code below, "Keep trailing zeroes" is selected by default. 

column<<format("Precision",12,2)

col<<Format("Precision", <width>, <decimal places>, <"Use Thousands Separator">, <"Keep Trailing Zeroes">, <"Keep All Whole Digits">)

not exactly sure though what the syntax is to disable it... so I tested few options and this seemed to work

Names Default To Here(1); 

dt = open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");

Column(dt, "height")<< Format("Precision", Keep trailing zeroes(0), 7, 1);
