I have a 2022 Ram 1500 Laramie with the v8-5.7L Hemi eTorque.  Search for
"AutoStop Eliminator" and you will find the site that sells gadget that will
fix that issue for you.  I bought one as well, even though the autostop on the
Dodge with the eTorque is almost impossible to notice.  On the eTorque, the
starter is really just the belt on the generator and it is very smooth.

The AutoStop Eliminator will allow the "saving" of the setting and will not
change anything else.  It is plug and play - goes right in the factory
connectors.
