But no matter what I put in the fields, I don't see any changes to the command line.

try include that options in dub.sdl (dub.json)

DlangIDE uses DUB for building projects.
If dub build works for your project, DlangIDE should compile it ok, too.
If does not, you need to modify dub.json

If dub build is working for the project, probably you are using 'rdmd' run, not dub one.
Use Ctrl+Shift+F5 or green triangle toolbar button instead of red triangle button.

DUB switch: --compiler={dmd|gdc|ldc|gdmd|ldmd}

You have it for DUB projects in Coedit, e.g once set in the general options a DUB project is always compiled with the specified compiler.
