Default Disable Apple Watch unlock checkbox

Unfortunately we need to disable this feature. After I dug a bit, found this file here:
/Users/<username>/Library/Containers/com.displaylink.DisplayLinkLoginHelper/Data/Library/Preferences/com.displaylink.DisplayLinkUserAgent.plist
We tried enforcing using a Configuration Profile (MDM is Jamf Pro), when we do that the setting is put in these two places:
$ defaults read /Library/Managed\ Preferences/com.displaylink.DisplayLinkUserAgent.plist
{
AppAutostart = 1;
AppleWatchUnlock = 0;
}
and:
$ defaults read /Library/Managed\ Preferences/<username>/com.displaylink.DisplayLinkUserAgent.plist
{
AppAutostart = 1;
AppleWatchUnlock = 0;
}
Neither seem to uncheck and grey out (enforce) the box.

I tried -bool false and -string 0 and neither work.

Hoping there's a manageable (programatic) way to do this.

Thoughts?

Default -string 0

I was mistaken, setting to -string 0 unticks the box.

However it does not enforce it, the user can check it again.

It'll get turned off on relaunch, not idea, in fact, not effective.

#sigh
