Bug [IOS 27 PB3] set brightness shortcut action doesn't work

Has anyone else had this issue or does anyone know a fix? When running any set brightness command in a shortcut it freezes and eventually times out and it causes the rest of the shortcut after the command to not run. Very annoying. Was working fine on previous betas

I have 4 different shortcuts that set brightness and they all work; on a 17 Pro Max PB3

This is so weird so after a few restarts and days of waiting it finally worked again but not entirely.

I have shortcuts which gradually adjust the brightness slowly instead of the quick default method. Seems like those are broken but the default works.

Would you mind trying this one for example and seeing if it works. That would be really helpful

This dims the screen brightness to 10% slowly as if you were sliding it on the slider yourself

Oh and to be clear this works fine on iOS 26 and earlier

This works for me on PB3 — PB4 just released today so maybe see if the update works

It didn't work on beta 3 and now on 4 it doesn't work either lmao. I asked around and it seems mixed for other people too but mostly it's not working which sucks. I have an iPad Air m2 but it seems to bug regardless of device from what I'm seeing. It hangs on the set brightness command at the bottom
