Samsung S8 phone / Samsung Watch3
Should be easy.  Have Watchmaker on my phone watch and have created 3 watch faces which I'll call, rather uncreatively, face1, face2, face3.
All I want is to add targets to each watch face, calling up the other two.  Thus, Face1 will have two targets - one calling face2, one calling Face3.
I've spent 4 days searching in Google, trying to figure out how to create the targets, but failed.  I can't imagine this is difficult.  Guidance please, or, if easier, point me to a link.
Have Tasker on my phone, ut can't find version #.  DLd it last Friday.  Also have 'Tasker Secondary.'  Do I need it?

Have you tried the Watchmaker plugin in Tasker?  It has the capability of changing the watch face.

One oddity of the plugin is that you specify the new watch face using the watch face name. However, it then internally translates the name to the watch face internal number. So if you delete the watch face, and rename another watch face to that original name, it will not be found until you "redo" the plugin task.

Therein lies part of my problem.  In Tasker main screen, I select 'Tasks>'+'>give the task a name>'+'>Plugin>Watchmaker>WM Change watch

From there, I'm presented with "Action Edit? prompting me for "Configuration," "Timeout," "If," "Label."  I don't need an "IF."  I expected something similar to 'Call CustomWatch,' and that would be al I need.  That leaves me with 2 questions.
1)  How do I fill out the 'Action Edit?"
2)  How do I call it in WM?
Any guidance/link would be GREATLY appreciated.

Yes, Watchmaker seems to be aborting when trying to enter the "Configuration" information. Back to contacting the Watchmaker developer like Joao recommended. I think these days the best place to do so is on Reddit.
