    Task Running Timeout

    Kyle Tameirao · 1 · Last reply by Rich D

    An option under Task properties to enable a timeout after x time so that tasks that get stuck due to actions without timeouts or whatever the reason. This will essentially end the task regardless of its status so other tasks that are Q'd up can proceed without incident. 

    When third party plugins are involved, and even some native Tasker actions, often times errors will result in tasks never completing and end up stuck in an indefinite run state even when "Continue Task After Error" is selected. If the action doesn't throw an error, then it'll just keep trying to execute

    Undo button

    Productivity · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hey there! It’d be awesome to have an ‘undo’ button for changes. Sometimes you make moves in task steps that you need to undo, but only for a specific action—kind of like a Ctrl+Z. Because let’s face it, just quitting the task or hitting cancel doesn’t always cut it for what you need 🤓👍

    Location profile radius

    Joe · 0 · Posted

    When creating a location profile, it would be nice if we could manually edit the GPS radius. 20km is too small and 50km too wide for what I need it for.

    Run task once given time of day

    Ball · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have a task that I only want to run once after setting a time of day. In other words, when (manually) triggered, it would prompt the user for a time of day then run the task once. I see no way of doing this presently and editing a task every time is highly cumbersome given I'd have to do that every time.

    "monitoring > running profiles" <-- edit directly from list

    David · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I noticed "monitoring > running profiles". That's such a good idea, but it would be better if you could go directly from there to edit which ever profile you tap!

    Feature Request: Allow more actions to use Variables

    ArsiTheFox · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    We need the ability to allow more of the Tasker actions to use more variables like Torch, Beep, ect....

    For example:

    • Using a variable to turn on the Torch using True or False
    • Variables for Beep to input the parameters like Duration and Frequency

    I believe having alot more Actions to optionally use Variables would allow users have ALOT more fine control with their scripts/tasks

    Child app profile events not working

    whjou · 1 · Last reply by whjou

    I am trying to create a child app that will do some action on event but found that while it works in Tasker, exporting and installing it as a child app doesn't.

    I am on a Samsung Galaxy S24.

    See sample Tasker project below. It is supposed to flash a message when we enter/exit chrome, or if we cover/uncover the light sensor.

        Project: TA-Test

        

        Profiles

            Profile: TestApplicationProfile

             Application: Chrome

    "Turn Off Bluetooth If No Device Connected"

    Alberto · 0 · Posted

    Hi,

    I use the Taskernet profile "Turn Off Bluetooth If No Device Connected" but it only activates once, even if it is a state and not an event. But I (finally) found a way to trigger the BT while driving, and this by creating a profile that activates when notified by an app (Radardroid, tasker plugin) which itself starts by detecting the activity driving. The problem is that once arrived, it continues to activate and therefore turn on the BT (bug in the Radardroid service perhaps). I therefore want to create a profile like that of the Taskernet but which

    Data Access and Collection Screen

    Calvin · 2 · Last reply by FREDERIC CHARLES

    Hello, I just purchased and installed Tasker on my Lenovo tablet and I can’t get past the “Data Access and Collection in Tasker” screen. There is no buttons, no arrow to go back, no way off the screen. I’ve zoomed out the screen to its smallest and still nothing. Is there a way to get out of this? I just paid for the app.

    Inject apps into the "Full Screen Apps" section in the Display options

    Andrew · 0 · Posted

    If the "Full screen apps'  in the the display options is there that mean full immersive mode  is supported, is it possible to "Inject any(all) apps into this list using Tasker?

    For me full immersive mode is the "The Holy Grail".

    keep up the awesome work!!!!

    A request for the DEV (u/joaomgcd), if it's possible to implement on Autosheets plugin. 🙏

    Marco Cipriano · 2 · Last reply by Marco Cipriano

     Hi DEV joaomgcd,

    It's possible to implement on Autosheets plugin the possibility to "Add/Get/Update Image" on the cells? 😇🙏

    That would have a great usage to automate even more the way we lead with Google Sheets.

    Thanks in advance for your support and attention on such forum with this dimension, keep it up, 🙏🙌

    Event/State change for change of audio output

    MattH · 2 · Last reply by Ben

    Tasker currently has state change to detect Headset Plugged, and BT connect/disconnect.

    However recent versions of Android (and some apps e.g. Pocket Casts) provide an ability to show/change audio output without connecting/disconnecting e.g. BT device is connected, can change to internal speaker, or with 2 BT devices connected can switch between them.

    Therefore I'd like an event/state change to detect when audio output changes - perhaps with 2 associated variables: audio output (i.e. Speaker/BT/Plugged headset) and device name (to allow trigger only for specific audio output e.g. Car).

    I currently do this using logcat entries, however this is device/phone specific

    Choose a number while using the contact via app action

    ghajni · 0 · Posted

    When using the contact via app action, it asks for the contact name rather then the number. In cases of contacts with multiple numbers, it only uses the first number (i.e. if a contact has two numbers beginning with 7, and the second with 8, it will use the first number). There's no option to change that setting, so I was hoping you could add an option to choose the number.

    Toggle location for profile when needed

    Perppel · 1 · Last reply by Perppel

    On Android 8 and later location is needed for certain actions in tasker.

    For example profile with state WiFi Near cannot be run if location is set to off on device.

    Tasker can change location setting between off/device only/battery saving/high accuracy.

    As far as I know there really is no way (since profiles cannot be run manually) to create task that enables location for that brief moment some profile requiring it to work needs it.

    Suggestion:

    Add option to profile preferences to set desired location mode for profiles that need location to be enabled. This way the profile itself would

    See title. I see that in other issues that something in the detection has changed. Well, apparently it's not working. Revert it.

    Unable to open tasker if it is left on a locked project

    Adam · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I thought I posted this a little while ago but I'm not sure if it was actually posted/visible so I'm trying again.

    I do NOT have "lock on startup" enabled.

    I have several projects. A few of them are locked with the lock code, whole others (including home) are not.

    If I am in one of the locked projects, and then leave or close the app, then when I next open the app, it starts up in that project, not home - which is fine. But because it is a locked project, I am naturally prompted for the lock code.

    Just purchased tasker for my old Samsung Galagy Note 10.1 tablet on Android version 5.1.1

    Installed fine, but after launching, I can not find a way to get past the initial Data Access screen.  There are no buttons anywhere to move forward.  

    Application manager shows it to be version 6.2.22

    Any help appreciated 

    Thanks
