Issue with changing secure setting

[Robin]

I'm looking to make a routine that sets my system navigation settings from gesture to button and then back again when I enter/exit certain apps. I've used the same profile to achieve similar effects (toggle bluetooth and do not disturb) but for some reason I can't get the custom setting action to work either way. I've already given Tasker that permission via ADB as described in this guide. Attached is the data dump of my tasks if it helps. Any help is appreciated.

Hi. What happens when you run the task? Does it show an error? Unfortunately that's just how some system parts work with these settings. The system sometimes is not ready to handle changes not made by itself and somehow needs to be refreshed (like in your case with a reboot) to read the setting again internally and see that it changed. It's just a bit of maybe not-so-good coding of the system going on under the hood where it doesn't pick up on the changes right away. Nothing Tasker can do to force it unfortunately unless you find some other way to trigger it to re-read the setting internally.

Thank you for your contact.
