In short, using Pick Photo action returns with the images URI path but when trying to use it in send intent for example it fails. To fix that you need to get the full path using SQL Query like here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/1enzuix/how_to_copy_filesmedia_from_your_android_phone_to/

The example is shown below the title: "Pick Photos/Media dialog".

Can you maybe have another variable/array inside the Pick Photos action that will hold the full path.  

Idea: Make JSONPath syntax available in tasker.

Currently JSON query syntax in tasker does not support the JSONPath standard (currently in proposed status) as described in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9535.html and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSONPath

In particular arrays are awkward to deal with, especially for more complicated structures (arrays in objects in arrays... etc.)

It's possible to work around this at the expense of additional tasker actions, or by using Javascript(Let) but it would be preferable if the standard was provided for.

Some examples which don't work well are: %my_var(N)            Nth element of unnamed array. Have to use the rather ugly

Can you please add blur and dim feature to image?

In array pop i can't write an array function unless i put it inside a variable first.

For example if i want to write inside the field Position in array pop action this function: %array(#?index) it won't allow me to do so because the keyboard is only keypads (numbers).

My suggestion if possible is to change the keyboard or to have an option inside the variables list to create a new one because right now i can only choose a variable from the list.

Currently import project behaves correctly, as in you can't import any until the lock code is entered, but profiles, tasks and scenes can still be imported, which defeats the purpose of locking Tasker to prevent access to certain actions. 

I'm not using the "Lock on Startup" option, since I still want to have access to other permitted profiles and actions. I just don't want to be able to import any profiles, tasks and scenes, so that I can't bypass blocked actions like "Set Tasker Pref", by just importing them in an unlocked project.

Hi João Dias,

I'm so grateful for all the amazing features you've brought to automation and I absolutely love Tasker and have been using it to do everything for a long time now.

I've just recently started using Home Assistant and want to integrate my existing tasker code in both directions to either trigger "things" in HA or "trigger" things in Tasker from HA.

However, I've followed you're guide (https://tasker.joaoapps.com/home_automation/home_assistant.html#initial) but have had no success in making the integration work. I noticed that the file structure in HA has altered slightly from your guide "/config/blueprints/automation/tasker" which now sees "blueprints" as one

I'd like to be able to have an optional parameter filled with a variable name and still be able to use it as if it had not been filled at all. For example, the "Default" field of the "Variable Query" action. When left blank, the dialog has nothing filled in, but if I put a variable there, regardless of what the variable contains, the dialog will always have something filled in. The best I can do is have the variable set to just a space, but then it's highlighted and if the user taps the edit field before typing the

Could a filter/search box please be added to this screen when selecting an icon that was added to the ".icn" Tasker folder? Thanks!

The list of shares in Taskernet does not seem to be stable. One of my projects appears twice and another project is not displayed.

The HTML formatting in AutoNotification notifications has been broken since the Android 15 Pixel Drop update on December 5, 2024 (AP4.241205.013.A2).

That is, as a simple list with values ​​(in addition to viewing in the project/task properties). This is a more convenient and compact way to view all project/task variables (especially for structured variables with JSON text). The filter can be a single choice from a list of all projects and tasks, for example. PS: It would be useful if the user could select (in the UI options) which filters (indexed, empty,...) should be added to the VAR tab.

Hi,

I have a simple text message rule set up where if text messages matches regex of certain URL, it will save it to array and launch the URL. This has worked perfectly for a while.

Until now. When I receive the message with the URL, Tasker freezes. If the application is closed, tapping to open it will result in it crashing. If it is already open on my screen, it is touch disabled. However in many circumstances 30 seconds later the URL will end up opening. I see that Tasker processes it, but it freezes and crashes in the

If there is multiple adb wifi action with Enable Debugging option then only 1st action works and after that error appears Can't enable debugging. Look at attached screenshot.

At 1 point we will bound to have too many projects. I like to assign icon to my project because it is more visual, and I don't like to clutter long texts at the project name.

However, it will be useful if we still could see the name somewhere on the screen.

Currently when we are viewing profiles/tasks/scenes/vars in any screen, we will see the word Tasker on the top left. Can this text be replaced with the project name instead?

If the task name is long, we could trim and append "..."

It would be nice to have what Clipboard Changed Event has in other event context as well. For example, Intent Received and Command event. Both generates variables but doesn't have conditions like Clipboard Changed Event.

It would be highly beneficial to have an option to specify "thisScene" in tasks that modify scene elements or handle item clicks. Currently, when cloning a scene containing such tasks, the reference in the task list remains linked to the original scene. This means changes made through item clicks in the cloned scene still affect the original. Adding a "thisScene" option would ensure that tasks in a cloned scene operate independently, controlling only the cloned copy without impacting the original scene. This enhancement would greatly improve flexibility and usability when working with cloned scenes.

I recently started using tasker and now I am sort off addicted to it. One feature which I would and many others would love is an auto save feature which autosaves the tasks whenever a change occurs. Sometimes I quit unknowingly and lose all of my progress. Thank You  

Hello, my friend! 

First of all, congratulations on your excellent work. I’m already a Tasker user on mobile and just subscribed to your Patreon to get access to a Direct Purchase license. 

The device I’m using doesn’t have Google Play—it’s an Orange Pi Zero 3 running a version of Android. 

I’m unable to add the license because the 3-dot menu doesn’t appear. While researching, I found some old Reddit threads about similar issues, but the suggested solutions involved creating a task to open the preferences or checking for operational problems like Overscan settings, which didn’t work for me. 

Since the

When we rename tasks or profiles, the actions which call them are updated automatically.

But if we change a label text, there may have been a GOTO action referencing it. This won't be updated, and then the GOTO is broken because it points to nowhere.

I think after the update of my Xiaomi Redmi note 13 it seems call forwarding is not working anymore from Tasker.

The Takser proces completes succesfully but the calls aren't forwarded.

If I use the *21*06xxxxxxxx# format (dutch cell phone number) and autodial enabled and simcard is selected, it just doesn't work. (It did before so no changes there). It also sends the confirmation SMS to the designated number.

If I do the *21* command on the phone itself it does work and calls are being forwarded correctly.

Any thoughts on how it could be fixed (restart of phone had
