Tasker qs tile Nougat

[Ash Matthews]

Now that my device is on Nougat I've managed to set up a quick setting tile which toggles a task. I've tried to set it so that the tile icon changes dynamically to indicate the toggle state (as with Bluetooth and NFC qs), but no joy.
Maybe someone can shed some light if this is possible?

Runs a task I think you mean (just to exclude that you mean something else)

How ?

Thanks.. yes, I mean run a task which toggles a profile. This is what I have:

1. Profile (DISPLAY OFF) - Display state off → Wifi off

2. Task (WIFI OFF) - Set wifi off

3. Task (TOG WIFI) - Profile status - Name (Display off) Set Toggle

4. Task (QS TILE) - see below 

Whilst the qs tile toggles the profile as desired, I have tried several variations of the task in the screenshot to dynamically change the icon but no success. I feel I'm on the right track but could use some help at this stage.

You realise that the actions are disabled in the task to change tile state ?

Enable Menu / More / Run Log and check that your task is being run when the
state changes to update the tile, and that there are no errors given.

Yes, the actions were only disabled at the time of the screenshot.. here is the log which does indeed show an error:

So the problem is with my task number 13, specifically the If state in action 2. I have tried the various state permutations/action changes etc. but could do with a pointer as I am getting nowhere.

No, it's not a problem, it's just telling you that the action didn't run because the condition failed.

The action to set the status to active did run, and apparently successfully. I don't
know if that's what you expected or not though...

The easiest way to test is just to create a new task which just sets to active or inactive, then
run it from the UI and check the QS area to see if the action is working.

Tested this and the tile icon changes as per the qs task actions (active/inactive). Despite trying numerous %STATE and %PENABLED options I've yet to find a way to successfully link the qs task to the task which toggles the profile in question.

After spending a lot of time on this I am so frustrated! 

As expected, when the first action here is run within Tasker the tile is set to active, and then back to inactive when the other two actions are run. However the tile remains static when pressed, although the profile is successfully toggled. 

I do appreciate the input here and I've learnt a lot about Tasker, just obviously not enough. If anyone can guide me then that would be great - if not then I'll just make do with a static tile.. thanks.

Good, then Tasker is working fine in that respect.

Probably just something wrong with your variable values or conditions somewhere.

The third action in that task does nothing, just to be sure you realise.

Again: look at Menu / More / Run Log, check which actions are running and that it's what you expect.

I managed to set this up like so, with the variable having a wrap around of two.
