enter or exit location

[reader]

hello

I have specified a location as a trigger

then I have created a task that has a right green arrow and a task that has a left red arrow

I suppose the green right arrow means that the actions are triggered when I enter the location and the red left arrow when I exit the location

the problem is that whenever I set some actions on the green right arrow, they are automatically changed to the same settings at the red left arrow!!!

I want to specify different settings in actions, as I want to undo the changes when I exit the location!

can you help me please?

thanks

I have found that modifying a Tasker profile is a little clunky.

"something" has to be "reinitialized" after "some" profiler changes.

When I make any change to a profile I switch to anther app and then switch back to Tasker.

In many cases the "oddness" goes away.

Thom to be honest I didn't understand a thing from your post

When I make a change to a Tasker profile ... before I try running it ... I exit Tasker and then enter Tasker again.

I find it counter intuitive.

Just give it a try and see if your symptom change.

no, it doesn't work

when I change something in the green arrow, the change also happens in the red arrow too, so that I cannot set different settings in each arrow

I reread your initial posting.

I think what your problem might be that you are pointing at the same task for entry and exit and are then changing it.

You need two tasks with different names. The profile entry points at one and the profile exit points at the other.

I might be a bit late on this but there are settings that are reverted to their initial value once a profile becomes active.
For example if you set your phone to Vibrate or change the Display timeout value, it will revert when the profile becomes inactive.
You can find out which actions can be reverted by checking the icon shown on the right hand side. The flash means 'no reverting' (Variable Set, for example) and the cog means 'reverting will happen'.

You can disable this behaviour by going to the profile's settings (long tap on the profile name then Settings button) and unticking the 'Restore Settings' box.

Note that settings set in exit task do not revert.
