How do I change the value of a variable is they are set to a SafeComboBox?

For example.

I wish to set gAssistMode setting via my own GUI , my GUI reflect the settings as selected in the Assist Window, but I can not set the value via my GUI.
Inside ffxiv_task_assist.lua I can see the value is saved via a SafeComboBox function call.

How can I override this ? Without having to modify the task file itself...

Code:
gAssistMode = ffxivminion.SafeComboBox(Settings.FFXIVMINION.gAssistMode,gAssistMode_listitems,GetString("none"))

Code:
function ffxivminion.SafeComboBox(var,varlist,default)

    local outputVar = var

    local found = false

    for k in StringSplit(varlist,",") do

        if k == var then

            found = true

        end

        if (found) then

            break

        end

    end

    if (not found) then

        outputVar = default

    end

    return outputVar

end

Here is my function attempting to set the value, I was trying different methods to try and force it.

Code:
GUI:AlignFirstTextHeightToWidgets()

                GUI:TextColored(1,1,1,200,string.pad(gAssistMode,5));

                --===============================================================

                -- START ASSIST MODE SELECTION POP UP

                --===============================================================

                if (GUI:IsItemHovered()) then

                    GUI:SetTooltip("Assist Modes")

                end

                if ( GUI:IsItemHovered() and GUI:IsMouseDoubleClicked(0) ) then

                    GUI:OpenPopup("AssistMode")

                end                    

                if (GUI:BeginPopup("AssistMode")) then

                    for i,e in pairs(mygui.assistmodes) do

                        if (GUI:Selectable(mygui.assistmodes[i],false)) then

                            AssistMode = tostring(mygui.assistmodes[i])

                            --Settings.FFXIVMINION.gAssistMode = GetString(AssistMode)

                            --gAssistMode = ffxivminion.SafeComboBox(Settings.FFXIVMINION.gAssistMode,gAssistMode_listitems,GetString(AssistMode))

                            gAssistMode = AssistMode 

                        end

                    end

                    GUI:EndPopup()

                end

The SafeComboBox just pulls the initial value.

I don't really understand the context of what you're doing well enough to offer a fix.
Setting gAssistMode to whatever AssistMode is, should change the value, but if you are attempting to change it to a value that is not in our normal list, then you will have some issues with that.
