GUI behavior is as follows:
For File storage domains - WipeAfterDelete check-box is unchangeable and unchecked (false).
For Block storage domains - WipeAfterDelete check-box is changeable and 
the default value is according to 'SANWipeAfterDelete' configuration value.

I think you should simply utilize the same configuration value in
REST or backend when creating a new disk.
