Changing display value format for a study

When I plot my custom study on a chart, it outputs a calculated value below certain bars that meet pre-defined criteria. I notice that on my CL chart the study's output value has 2 decimal places, while on a GC chart it has 1 decimal place and on a EURUSD chart it has 5 decimal places.
I would like the calculated study value to be displayed with 2 decimal places on all charts. However, when I change the Value Format in the Study Settings window to .01 and Apply, it always reverts to the original price format.
Is there a way to set the value format for the study to 2 decimal places while leaving the price display format for the symbol unchanged?

Does the custom study itself set the sc.ValueFormat?

If so, where in the study function is this done? Is it within sc.SetDefaults?

Yes, it was in sc.SetDefaults. I thought that's where it should be, but I've moved it out of there now, and it works correctly.
Thanks.

Yes it should be there. If it is in sc.SetDefaults, then you should not have a problem.
