This is exactly the format I used, for both:

FieldsVisible

MYTABLE.MYCOLUMN=F

and ColumnAttributes:

MYTABLE.MYCOLUMN=BOOLEAN=Y,N

And I am sorry to say it is not working for me regardless if I set this on
the TIB_Connection component through the Object Inspector, or the TIB_Cursor
component through the Object Inspector.

Regarding you input on the use of TIB_Cursor as opposed to using TIB_Query,
I think I know have a better grasp of pros & cons for each. Thank you for
the inside view.
