Multi-Option Quick Tiles

At the moment, quick tiles are either ON or OFF which severely limits the potential capabilities of them.
I created a macro that is able to cycle between multiple modes and display the current state of the tile and I strongly believe it should be a native feature of MacroDroid.
For instance: off; (on) 1;2;3 instead of ON/OFF.
I've seen a few macros on the templates store using the mess in the screenshot when activating a quick tile, which is very clunky. MacroDroid can do better.

I found that using variables it is somewhat possible to achieve, but is still not intuitive and could be complicated to create for beginners since it was very glitchy.

Regardless of this feature request, quick tiles are just glitchy when demanding more than simply ON/OFF.
If you change the label of a quick tile, it won't update until you close the quick panel and re-open it, unless you trick the system by turning the quick tile off and on/on and off (depending on the desired final state) using MacroDroid, which would update the tile and fix the label issue.
However, I haven't found a way (yet) to fix the same delay with the icon of the label.

I've seen quick tiles used in many macros on the templates store and I believe they should get more attention and a mini-overhaul since they are pretty useful.

Have you tried MacroDroid Specific > Selection Dialog?
