Please show us the proof of this. For example, you can change your code slightly as this:

GlobalVariable.token = value
println("value=" + value)
println("token=" + GlobalVariable.token)

Then what do you see in value=xxxxxx and token=yyyyyy?

I guess, you will see xxxxxx and yyyyyy to be equal, aren’t they? If yes, it means that you successfully updated a GlobalVariable with a value. I wonder what you are wondering about.

No.
This statement
GlobalVariable.token = value
will NEVER update the Execution Profile on disk.

Katalon Studio does not offer capability to persist the current status of GlobalVariables into disk.

A Execution Profile defines a list of the name, type, and initial value of GlobalVariables. Here by the word initial I mean when a Test Suite started.

A Execution Profile is not a database on disk which stores the values of GlobalVariable dynamically updated during a TestSuite run.
