How to get Shortcut Run to toggle Device Settings?

Is it possible to have Global Variable toggle each time Shortcut runs such that there’s only one Shortcut instead of two shortcuts to toggle Settings such as Smart Invert ?

As following Screenshot is attempting, when Shortcut runs first time, it creates and set Global Variable Invert to 1; then turn on Setting Smart Invert. Next time Shortcut run, Setting Smart Invert should turn OFF because it is already ON. Following shortcut isn’t working; as if Global Variable cannot be toggled to 0

Why are you using a Global Variable?

Search for the Set Smart Invert action and then tap on Turn and choose Toggle.

Better yet, simply use a single Smart Invert action with Toggle instead of Turn – then you don't need to keep track of its previous setting:

Currently, In the If action, you're setting Invert to 0 in both cases. So try this: Change one of the Set actions from 0 to 1.
