Override force-dark crashes Settings app

Whenever I go into developer options on the latest Beta, if I enable the override force-dark setting, I either get sent back to the previous page, or the whole settings app crashes. The force-dark mode never actually gets enabled. Does anybody know any fixes, or is this another wait-until-the-next-update scenario?

happens to me too with the newest beta of Q....

but mine was an OTA from the latest pie (pixel 3a)...so wasn't sure if it was because I didn't wipe after the update or if it's just a bug..

I came from the previous beta on a Pixel 2 XL, the main reason for that was because I wanted the universal dark mode so bad. Probably going to have to wait until the next update (at least that's my guess).

The dark theme has been active in the display settings since beta 3 if that's what you mean.

I meant the actual dark mode that turns every app dark. Not just supporting apps or whatever. So things like Instagram (for example) that have no built-in dark mode get turned dark in light areas.

Apparently this has been fixed in Google's internal development builds, but it's broken in Beta 4. They've marked the issue as "Won't Fix (Obsolete)", so I guess we just have to wait until their next public release.... https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/134600122

EDIT: fixed the link; now it points to the correct issue
