Updating Revision using StatusString

Updating Revision using StatusString

I am attempting to update the Revision status bit of a variable using C# VSTA. I am currently pulling the current StatusValue and extracting the Revision status bit from the value. When it differs from what I am trying to set it to, I use StatusString="REVISION=X" where X is a 0 or a 1 depending on what I am trying to set it to.
After I run that command, I am not seeing the Revision status update. I even have pulled the StatusValue again after writing to StatusString and the bit did not change. What could I be doing wrong in this scenario?
