Auto lock shortcut please ASAP!!!

I noticed other threads on this but they have been closed. There are too many steps, and too much navigation required to change the screen auto lock time from either of the # of minutes or to ‘never’. A shortcut for this would be a high priority. I *almost* started using my iPad for work but this one seemingly small but extremely inefficient omission was enough to keep me working on my Chromebook. This is important because I will often leave my iPad for a few minutes or for half an hour, even at home, and then I need to unlock it. I can’t use ‘never’ because of the security risk, such as: What if I set it to never and then later in the day or the next day I grab my iPad and go to a client’s place of work where my iPad may sit for some time unattended if I’m in meetings. I can’t risk that mistake. When I try working on the iPad, I find myself changing the screen lock time 10-20 times a day. What a terrible pain in the ***. Also it would be nice to be able to quickly set it to a short time to save the battery instead of the screen sitting there on, draining the battery for no reason. So for the sake of convenience, efficiency, security, and conserving battery power I’d like to say that Apple needs to create a fast way to toggle between settings. Why not a shortcut? Why not in the control centre? Why not a link or some way to put an icon / shortcut on the desktop? Any of these would be great. Here’s me saying ‘please’. Thanks. - Rod
