Difficulty with map command?

I'm setting up a level select screen in my options menu using Menudef. It works really well, and it makes pistol starting maps a bit easier but unfortunately the maps default to Hurt Me Plenty. I was wondering if there was some way to make it so the difficulty selection screen popped up before warping you to the map? Or possibly just defaulting the maps to Ultra Violence could work too. I have the Menudef and a screenshot attached in case that helps.

With the way you've set up the MENUDEF, there's no way to change the difficulty for the maps through the menu itself. The only possible way to change it is by changing the skill variable through the console. What you could potentially do, if you want to spare yourself the effort of rewriting the entire menu, is add an option to GZDoom's default OptionMenu that controls the skill cvar and sets the difficulty for the maps that way.

Thank you! I was planning to rewrite the entire thing anyway just to make it look a bit nicer. Thank you for the help!
