How to set a block to a different block then restore the previous one?

you could try by Getting the block Below it, making a Blockstate Local Variable, and setting Local:VARIABLE = block at X Y - 1 Z

then after 40 ticks, replace block at X Y - 1 Z with Local:VARIABLE 

for this to work, you HAVE to make the Variable a Blockstate

That worked, but now I'm running into a different issue. The block I am having it affect is an iron door, and the being set two blocks underneath it is a redstone torch. However, the door does not open.

The strange part is, it plays the door opening and closing sounds, but the door itself doesn't do anything

I just tried it again, and the good news is it doesn't play the sound anymore. Bad news is it still doesn't open.
