Changes done in the choicescript_stats.txt will only ‘stick’ after the reader pressed the Next button when outside the choicescript_stats.txt. Afaik, this is the only way to make the changes stick.
Perhaps you can tell the reader to do that, or you can try tricking them to press the next button by utilizing *redirect_scene to jump out of the choicescript_stats.txt into a “yes or no” confirmation page. The problem with the second option is, you have to figure out how to bring the reader back to the exact story page.
What about allowing the reader to set them up at the beginning of the story? Sure there’ll be no changing the setting midway.
