Setting Restoration

You don't need to worry about this subject unless you have special requirements (in which case, read on!). In most cases, Tasker will transparently 'do the right thing'.

Single Profile

Tasker treats settings slightly different to other actions.

When a setting is applied by the Enter Task, its value is restored when the profile becomes inactive. For example, if the ringer volume is at 7 and is set to 0 in the Enter Task, when the profile becomes inactive it is automatically set back to 7.

In other words, settings are only valid for the lifetime of their profile.

Multiple Profiles

When multiple profiles that affect a setting are active simultaneously:
  1. the setting has the value from the most recently activated profile.
  2. when all profiles are inactive, the setting has the value from before any profile was active

Complicated, huh ?
