Can I manuall set the stageResult in Jenkins without using the catchError function?

I've seen plenty of examples setting the stageResult value in Jenkins using catchError, like so...

catchError(buildResult: 'SUCCESS', message: 'This stage is allowed to fail', stageResult: 'SUCCESS') {
    sh mycmd
}

But can the stageResult value be set without using this function? For example, the build result can be set using currentBuild.result = 'FAILURE'. Does something similar exist for stageResult?
