No, you can't save a ramp rate and have it stick after a power cycle. The only configuration parameter that is saved in flash (immune to a power cycle) is the Jaguar ID.

The idea behind the Automatic Ramp Mode was to give teams a quick way to prevent high current spikes without having to write code or hook up the CAN/Serial interface.

If you need the ability to tweak your ramp rate, you either need to use CAN/Serial the whole time or write a ramp into your PWM code.
