Prevent screen turning on during call

I carry my note 8 in my shirt pocket and have bluetooth headphones.

Ideally this means I can answer the phone from the headphones without taking the phone out of my pocket.

In reality the phone screen turns on. Even if I take the phone out of my pocket and turn the screen off it turns on when hanging up.

If I forget then the screen is on in my pocket adding random calendar items, deleting home screen icons and generally running down the battery.
The note 8 option to prevent accidental presses helps a little but the battery is still drained.

Is there an easy way to prevent the screen turning on during calls?

I've tried a few Tasker scripts but they always seem to have a downside.

Any tips greatly appreciated.
