Unable to modify Session with signed_cookies backend

Hi, 

When I try to modify a session when using signed_cookies backend it creates a new session which voids

the purpose as I am using session_key as a shared data structures across views/functions.

Is this expected or a bug? I am using 1.11 (default on ubuntu 18.04, can't update as pip isn't allowed), but even

looking at the latest source https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/sessions/backends/signed_cookies.py#L41

the behavior isn't changed.

The same logic works fine with db/file backends but can't use that due to low storage issues.

Any help is appreciated?

Thanks
