Non-programmer Actions-Sequence checklist for making a variable persistent

Hi. I need to have some of the variables I use regularly persist across closing BetterTouchTool and across rebooting the system. What Actions-Sequence makes this happen?

My variables are mostly mouse cursor coordinates, all set using the Action "Save Current Mouse Position" and used by the Action "Restore Saved Mouse Position".

I looked for a checkbox in the "Save … position" Action that would make this persistent. I do not see one.

I found the Action "Assign/Set Value for Variable" which I assume I need. Rather than essay my way forward, I'm asking here. What is the syntax for filling in "Variable Name" and "Value" when I already have a Variable saved with a value … or should I save the value using an Action other than "Save Current Mouse Position" and specifying a name for that variable?

The only mentions I found of "persist" in the Documentation are in the BetterTouchTool CLI (bttcli) Documentation. That seems a round-about solution.

TY.

most actions do indeed only save to temporary variables, you can do it like this if you don't want to use scripting:
