Persistent Variables Default Value Programmatic Update

Hi,

I am using Persistent Project Variables to drive the URL in which the test will run. The variable is assigned a value from a keyword test. What is happening is that the script updates the Local value and not the Default.value. I am interested in updating the Default value because otherwise, the version control does not detect any changes in the file system and so no push operation can be performed.

Basically, what I am trying to do is to update multiple variables based on the value of one variable, but temporary variables do not persist the values, and persistent variables updated via automation are only updated in the local value. 

It was interesting to see that the version control system only detects changes when the Temporary Variable or Persistent Variable in the Default Value, value are updated.

Any ideas? Otherwise seems like the only option is to manually change the values.

Thanks in advance.
