I have two tasks when wireless charging.
When put the phone on the wireless charger, bluetooth will set ON, brigtness to auto and maximize volume.

When i then take the phone from the charger i turn bluetooth OFF, kill the spotify app, go to home screen, auto brightness set OFF, display brightness set to 50, media volume to level 7 and SYSTEM LOCK.

What happens is that the phone only lock when i put it to charge and not when i disables the charge is I want to.

What am I missing?

To better understand the situation... Questions: 

Is your phone normally keyguard locked so that it is typically already locked when you place it on the charger? And is it also locked via a pin, PW, or other security method?

When you put it on the charger, is part of your profile to have the screen turn on and then stay on while on the charger?

Its locked with pin but when i tested i unlocked it first before place it on the charger.

No i have not set the profile to screen to turn on and stay on while charge.

Ya still not sure what your configuration is.

First off there is a difference between System Lock setting in Tasker and Pin locking your phone. System Lock shuts off the screen and only turns on the Key Guard feature of your phone. Key Guards only function is to make you have to swipe the screen to get into the phone. Its purpose is to simple keep you from butt dialing or butt pressing things on your home screen if one of the phones buttons gets pressed which would normally turn on the screen and allow you to do things. It offers zero security. Pin locking a phone requires putting in a Pin number to get into your phone.

First problem I see. You said when testing you unlocked it then put it on the charger. I assume you mean you typed in the Pin then put it on the charger rather than disabling the Pin lock feature?  Then when you put it on the charger, what happens? Did the screen stay on or immediately turn off?

You also stated your profile turns on Bluetooth, sets brightness to auto, and volume all the way up. Is that it? Because your post also says when you take it off that it should turn of Spotify. How did Spotify get turned on?

I dont understand why a phone with secure pin to unlock requires the pin to lock the phone.

When i tried to day it did not lock anymore when put on the charger. I had an app that boosted the charge and when i now disabled the app and it dont locks any more when put on the charger, OK.

Anyway.
The reason i have this taskers is that when i drive my car an put the phone in the stand with wireless charge the app Android auto is set to auto run when bluetooth connects to the car. In android auto i then run spotify.
When i then turn off the car the charger disables and the tasker will run as described and why i want it to lock is that when i take the phone from the stand i dont want to push anything by misstake.
