We're working on adding client support. It's good to know that the web client isn't working as expected. I'll look into that. The Python client is working, using a command like:
meshtastic --ch-set module_settings.position_precision 16 --port /dev/ttyACM1 --ch-index 0

Thanks for taking the time to update. Sorry if it's just a case of jumping the gun, just wasn't sure if it needed to be brought to anyone's attention. It sounds like it's already well under control.

I'm pretty sure the old default behavior will work again with PR #3278
