Set Badge Layout through Podio API...Is it possible?

This has been driving me CRAZY for months.  If you create an App using the Podio API, the Badge layout and the Relationship (reference) Layout are determined by Podio.  I want to customize those Layouts (like you can do manually) using the API but there just doesn't seem to be a way. You can use the API to get the Badge/Relationship Layouts, but you can't set them.
