Research direction
Start by comparing how app settings are handled on the developers.reddit.com app settings page and through the Devvit CLI, then trace the existing public API surface for an appropriate entry point. The issue names reddit.setSetting() as a possible interface but no files or tests. Done means apps can programmatically update settings and preserve or transform prior values as described.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Currently, app settings can only be updated in one of two ways: Either by using the app settings page on developers.reddit.com, or by using the Devvit CLI. I think it would be very useful to be able to update app settings programatically, via a function such as reddit.setSetting() or some similar name.
An example of how this could be very beneficial is: Let's say one of my Mod Tools app's settings is a boolean value and I want to change it to a select, to give the user/mod more options. Ideally, I'd like to base the default value of that select setting on the previous value of the boolean setting, so that when the app is updated, it doesn't break the workflow for mods.
