I have a scene with one of these and have noticed that if I destroy the scene and then reopen it: the `toggle` state is not preserved.
Is there a way to make it so it remembers and so shows the previous state.
This is if I load the scene; toggle it; exit the scene then come back.
I want it to show the toggled condition.
Possible?

Possible?
Yes. You can do it with Element Depth. Use 2 toggle elements place one exactly over the other one. Tick the ON option in the first one. In both "Changed" tab tasks set the global variable %Toggle_scene TO: %new_val. Then set up the show scene task like so..
Task: show test button
A1: Flash [
Text: %Toggle_scene
Continue Task Immediately: On
Dismiss On Click: On ]
A2: Create Scene [
Name: test button ]
A3: Element Depth [
Scene Name: test button
Element: Toggle2
Set Depth: 1 ]
If [ %Toggle_scene ~ on ]
A4: Element Depth [
Scene Name: test button
Element: Toggle3
Set Depth: 2 ]
A5: Show Scene [
Name: test button
Display As: Overlay, Blocking
Horizontal Position: 100
Vertical Position: 100
Animation: System
Show Exit Button: On
Show Over Keyguard: On
Continue Task Immediately: On
Allow Outside Boundaries: On
Blocking Overlay +: On
Overlay +: On ]
A6: Wait [
MS: 0
Seconds: 10
Minutes: 0
Hours: 0
Days: 0 ]
A7: Destroy Scene [
Name: test button ]

Thanks.
(Not against you)
I'm not sure that is doing exactly what I meant, but....
That is going to take some time to understand.
I'm curious what this `element depth` is.
Though that is what you mentioned at the start of your reply.
I'll have to do some digging.
I'm an old fogie and am not good at handling this on my phone, so it isn't I can import it and see what it does.

Which part of that do I need so I can import it to Tasker and see it running?
Do I need the Task: show test button line?
(And how do I import it in Tasker?)
(May be easier if I see a working version.)

Yes.. I should have put a destroy scene action as the very first action in the task.
You can manually run the destroy scene action from the task or..
If you open the scene for editing, that will destroy the task as well.

Wow, that is confusing. (Not against you)
I copied the two lines from your code and pasted them in mine.
Then I had the fun of changing all the names. That was fun.
I did one bit different. Slightly I think.
On the TOGGLE thing on the CHANGE part:
(poor attempt to explain follows)
==============
IF -------- %new_val ~ on
Default ringtone
Type ringer sound silent
notify title ringVolume
END IF
IF ---------- %new_val ~ off
Default rintone
Type ringer sound (my ringtone)
notify title ringVolume
END IF
Flash %new_val
Variable Set -- %ringMode to %new_val
==============
The %ringMode toggles if I press the button.
But if I exit the scene and come back it is not honoring the value like yours does.
So I think I am missing something.
The code that makes the scene:
(again: poor effort)
======
Variable Set -- AltnotificationLevel to 4
(few more like this)
CreateScene ControlScene
Element Value Scene name Control Scene element Match AutoReadName to Value @AutoReadName
(and a couple more like this)
Then your two lines:
Element Depth ......
=============
Which - to me - is confusing.
The other ones that I did with `ELEMENT VALUE` work.
You are using `ELEMENT DEPTH`
No offense but I may try `ELEMENT VALUE`.
I'll let you know what happens.
Oh, that means I will only need one line of code.

Oh, ok. Something else.
Your button name/s..... Note the S.
You call your button, TOGGLE1
But in the ELEMENT DEPTH lines, there is/are TOGGLE1 and TOGGLE2.
Where is TOGGLE2 in the scheme of things?
I think that is where I got lost with your example.

Just to clarify..These are not button elements, they are Toggle Elements.
There are actually 2 Toggle elements.
The Toggle2 element is hidden under the Toggle1 element. They are the exact same size and placed on top of one another. So which one is shown depends on the depth setting.
So Toggle1 does not have the "ON' option set and Togggle2 does have the "ON" option set. So the Global variable determines which Element is set to a depth of 1 which hides that particular element behind the other.

So if my `toggle` element is called RingMode I transposed your Toggle1 to RingMode, but was not sure what to call Toggle1's transposed name.
RingMode1 or 2?
And I'm sorry I said BUTTON and not TOGGLE. My fault.
But I seem to lack the ability to completely reuse your code so I can make multiple instances of it.
Is that clearer?

You would need 2 Toggle elements called RingMode1 and Ringtone2.
You can link them to the same task in the "Change" Tab within the Elements UI Edit mode. To do that you need to name that task. To Name that Task you Select all your current actions in the task and tap "Copy" then in the upper right Tap the - "Select Different Task"
Then at the top of that Menu there is a "New" option. Select that and name your task. Then long press the middle of the screen and Paste your actions into it.
Then in the Ringtone2 you can now select that task as well.
I have changed the project with your new names and a linked task for the Toggle elements. I also moved one of the elements to better show that there are 2 Toggle elements in this task. You can move one on top of the other so they will show as one just like the first version.
Try importing this again..
Do use the APP 'Telegram'? I have found that a much better way to with these back and forths to explain and show show examples.

I think you all are making this a lot harder than it needs to be.
Create a Tasker Global variable to store that element between the showing of the scene. In your "load Scene" task, set the element to the value of that Global Variable, using the "Element Text" or "Element Value" actions. In the scene, whenever that element is updated, save the updated value back into that Global.

Well that's strange... I know for certain I tested the Element Value action before replying..
I tested with both one and zero and for some reason it did not work.
The documents do not seem to list The toggle Element in Element value action., so I assumed it did not work. 😞
After testing again, it does indeed work for setting the toggle element..
A value of one will turn it off and a value of zero will turn it on.
Thanks for the correction.... :)

Rich D,
Your code works. No problem.
But I can't see how/where you have the second button.
Although you explained it a couple of posts ago, I am still not understanding. (My fault)
aa6vh,
Maybe I am making it harder than it needs.
But as I don't know the way to do it, I am trying to understand the workings.
I (stupidly) didn't realise the names and the associations on the SCENE and the TOGGLE. But after a slap in the face a few times I saw it.
Alas that opened the can of worms where/how the second button is done.
I'll see if I can get what you suggested to work.

(Sorry, all)
One TWIST is the values and the text are very different.
The text shows the mode and the value is the ring tone.
I'm not sure if I could save the mode to the global variable and have an external bit of code that then parses it for changes.
Again: I don't often do this as I am buried in programming in other languages.

Remember guys, the "Element Text" action and the "Element Value" action do the same thing, but for different targets. Take a look at the Tasker Help for those actions.
"Element Text" is for Button, Text, and Edit elements only. "Element Value" is for Checkbox, Number, Picker, Slider., Spinner, and Toggle elements.

The BUTTON (to call it) has the alternate text/s: NORMAL and CONTACTS ONLY.
But it sets the phone's DEFAULT RINGTONE.
So it toggles that between CAR_HORN and SILENT.
So, normally when an unknown/non-contact calls me the CAR_HORN is the RINGTONE.
People who I know have a different one.
This will enable me to have the phone so if an unlisted number calls, the phone doesn't ring.
But if a contact calls, the phone works normally.

Yes, and so I have a lot of lines in the code - now - turned OFF (they don't work and I'm anal).
I added a line: ELEMENT TEXT
Scene: ControlScene
Element: RingMode
Text: ringText
Pressed the button to apply.
Some error - sorry, I dismissed it too quickly.
THIS CAN'T BE DONE WITH THE TOGGLE OPTION....
Or words to that end.
So, sorry, how am I supposed to control the text shown on a TOGGLE button?
Please forgive the CAPS stuff.... Formatting here is painful and I don't know of an easy way to identify the key parts/words so I capitalise them.

Now I have a better understanding of what you are trying to do. And yes, there is no direct way in Tasker to effect the label of a toggle.
So what I do is make the toggle label blank, then place a label object next to that toggle (so that the new label is now appears to be the toggle's label), and just adjust that label.

Yeah, but setting both to SILENT was slightly confusing for me.
I appreciate these things happen.
Not a worry.
Where I'm stuck is where/how the second TASK is invoked - as there is no PROFILE listed. TOGGLE RINGTONE
And how I can port this code to my TASK and use it.
I don't have a clear understanding of how it all works as a whole.

That is the task that is linked to the "Changed" Tab within the Toggle Scene Element. You can see it there when you edit the Toggle scene element UI. Usually those Tasks are anonymous and do not have a Task name. I Had to Name the task in so I could change the Collision property of it. That is why it is now showing in the Task Tab.
The collision property is set to 'Abort Existing Task' . This is so if you tap the toggle very quickly and the entire task does not run before the next iteration of the task is started it will cancel the existing task and run the new iterations, so your Global variable will always have the correct value.
You can also delete or disable the flash actions in that task as they were ment for testing and to hopefully help you understand the flow.

So that task gets run every time you tap the Toggle button. The local variable %new_val contains the current mode ,(value) of the toggle element. It will either be
on or off
That value is tested and the Default Ringtone is set accordingly.
The Global Variable is also set to this value to be used when cold starting the scene again.

Look at the very top left. You should see the Task name just under 'Element Edit'. If you ever wanted to link the Toggle button to a different task just tap the rotating arrow in the upper right. The task (all of those actions) are the very same Task you see and edit in the Tasker Task Tab -> Toggle Ringtone
The COLLISION part..... and ABORT EXISTING TASK......
That part is in the task properties. When viewing from the Tasker Task Tab you can see the Task properties by opening the task for editing and tap the cog icon in upper right.

You can see it there when you edit the Toggle scene element UI. Usually those Tasks are anonymous and do not have a Task name. I Had to Name the task in so I could change the Collision property of it. That is why it is now showing in the Task Tab.The collision property is set to 'Abort Existing Task' . This is so if you tap the toggle very quickly and the entire task does not run before the next iteration of the task is started it will cancel the existing task and run the new iterations, so your Global variable will always have the correct value.You can also delete or disable the flash actions in that task as they were ment for testing and to hopefully help you understand the flow.and they usually are called by a PROFILE.

see the Task name just under 'Element Edit'. If you ever wanted to
link the Toggle button to a different task just tap the rotating arrow

Thanks.
Only after closely looking I noticed it.
Thanks.
I'll see if I can get it working.
Checking:
In your main TASK, you CREATE SCENE, then ELEMENT VALUE then SHOW SCENE
In my (real) TASK, if I do it that way it throws an error.
I have to put the ......
Ooops. Sorry. Wrong.
Left here for honesty.
Ok, I'll give it a go now and see if I can get it working.
Still a bit stuck:
So when I select the TOGGLE in my SCENE...... How do I set the TASK to run when invoked?

When you are in the 'Changed' tab - tap the circle icon in the upper right.

HURRAY!
Got it working!
Sorry it took so long.
I got rid of the lines that I turned off
Now I have to make another button/toggle to do something similar. But different too.
If you are interested:
given some parts would be different (like sounds, etc) would you be interested in the WHOLE thing?
How would I export it? (comments or XML?)
I can save it to the phone's memory, copy it here then post.

Usually best just to export and post the 'Description to Clipboard'
Choose the Four Spaces option when asked.

Overview of what it does:
Top middle.
the last time/date the code was modified.
If you want to lower the volumes, you can activate REST MODE.
That will lower all volumes to a set value.
This is adjustable if you LONG PRESS that button.
To TURN IT OFF While the screen is on, shake the phone gently.
It will shake and you know it is off. There is also an icon that will go away.
QUICK QUITE is a bit buggy. Not sure it works.
DND is handy if you are going to be busy and want to keep your mates in the loop.
If active, and someone calls you - AND THEY ARE KNOWN - they are sent a message.
NON LISTED numbers will not be sent a message.
The message is set by the popup list (bottom left)
This is not perfect and the message isn't kept between scene closure and reopening.
Though usually you wouldn't close the scene anyway.
AUTO READ SMS and AUTO SAY NAME:
Handy to read SMS with with or without the name.
EXIT.
