Cannot read custom setting

[slarti76]

I have a problem with reading a custom setting on Android 11 (Galaxy S21 SM-G991B, Tasker 5.15.8-Beta):

I cannot read out the value of Custom Settings of type Secure. The values are shown correctly when I use the "Find" function, and also in the list shown by "Select Setting". But if I try to read setting to a variable, that variable will be empty afterwards. Works for Global and System settings.

The Custom Setting profile is affected, too: It is run when the value changes, but the array with the event parameters contains no value.

This does work on my XCover Pro which is still running A11.

Here you are. For me, first two value are 0 or 1, third is just "%extradim".
Note: I did find out that it doesn't affect all Secure Settings - this one seems to be Samsung-specific. But nevertheless, the list for "Select Setting" shows the name and value correctly (I checked that it's actually changin), and I can change the value with no problems.

Thx, but made no difference. Also tried a few other 5.15.8-beta versions, but not below, as my Android won't let me downgrade, it seems.
