How can I create a shortcut to automatically forward calls on my iPhone?

Does anybody know a way to create a shortcut to automatically forward all calls to a certain number.

For example I want to create a shortcut icon on my Home Screen that when I click it my iPhone will automatically forward all calls to x number. Also add another icon to the Home Screen to then turn off call forwarding.

I want the shortcut to go to Settings / Apps / Phone / Call Forwarding / Turn on Call Forwarding / Forward to / Add the phone number to forward calls.

Then the turn off shortcut should be Settings / Apps / Phone / Call Forwarding / Turn off Call Forwarding.

This is very helpful because you can go into meetings and quickly click the shortcut and forward calls. You don’t have to fumble thru all the options to forward calls.

Any idea how to do this?
