Need Help Creating iOS Shortcut for toggling Silent Mode

I am trying to create a Shortcut in iOS 17 that will toggle Silent Mode On/Off. So far, I've been able to create one that turns it on and asks to confirm. I can choose to turn it off the same way, but must confirm. Right now that takes too many button presses. Below is a screenshot of the Shortcut Results:

I have tried to use two Set Silent Mode Actions, one On and One Off, with the Ask Question removed, but that did not work. Only the first Action (Turn On) is executed.

Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.

To toggle between states such as Silent Mode On and Silent Mode Off, create a shortcut as you stated: "Set Silent Mode" from the list of actions. Once this appears on it will read "Turn Silent Mode On". Press the word "Turn" to reveal the drop down menu and select "Toggle". This will alternate between turning Silent Mode on and off.
