In good old days, up to 30 images could be selected directly in the background settings, which were then randomly set as a lock screen image. Unfortunately, this option has been denied to us by Samsung, now it is only possible with live wallpapers, which are often paid, and we cannot choose the pictures ourselves.
Fortunately, we have a Tasker that can handle it (I don't understand why I didn't think of trying it for 2 years).
Create a new Task
- File -> List Files
In Dir, enter the path to the image directory
In Variable enter text % files - Set the values of % filescnt to the number of images loaded (Variables -> Variable Set)
Name will be % filescnt , To % files (#) - We will generate a random number in the range of 1 - number of images
In Name, enter the name of the variable in which the output will be saved: % file
Min will be 1 , Max % filescnt - Set a random image as the lock screen background.
In Type, select Lockscreen , type Image files (% file) into Image
Then we create a profile that will respond to the need to turn off the screen:
Event -> Display -> Display Off
From now on, whenever the screen is turned off, the lock screen image changes to one of the folders we entered.

Certainly some good advice, thanks @Libb
I do not work for Samsung or make Samsung Products but provide independent advice and valuable contributions.

Yes, it is. Because there are still limitations in the out of box functionality. And you can see that the article is almost 1 year old and then it was not possible in settings.

Dear reader,
I don't know if the steps did work out for you, but in case they didn't -like for me- try this: In step 2, set the variable %filescnt to # instead of %files(#), i.e. only write the number of total image files in your target wallpaper directory.
Et voilà.
Enjoy your day

An easier solution is to import this task from TaskerNet:
Hope this helps someone 😊
