Editing the Full Design Skeleton is not working

Hello

So I have discovered a bit of a problem when trying to start a new set. What I would usually do, which is edit the design skeleton, then insert the skeleton, is not working currently, and I would like to know why
This is what I've been basically doing
I put in the command of... let's say skeleton_gold_commons:= 4, it succeeds in running the command
I check skeleton_info(), skeleton_info() has registered by edit
I insert Full Design Skeleton, the gold commons are nowhere to be seen
I check skeleton_info() again, and the gold commons have vanished

I must have remembered something incorrectly, because I distinctly remember the edits saved in skeleton_info() would transfer into the Full Design Skeleton, however that is not working, please I need to know how to get this custom design skeleton working, this is making my head hurt profusely
