Hello Tasker Community,

1. Synchronous "Perform Task" Option: It would be beneficial to have a synchronous version of the "Perform Task" action in JavaScript. This would be particularly useful when we need to wait for a task to complete before proceeding.

2. Plugin Compatibility in JavaScript: Exploring ways to improve plugin compatibility with JavaScript actions, such as AutoInput plugins, could open up new possibilities for automation.

3. Update JavaScript Library: Updating the JavaScript library to include all native actions would help streamline JavaScript usage within Tasker.

4. Logging JavaScript Console Output: A feature to log JavaScript console output to a file would be handy

After upgrade to 6.2 the MQTT Client -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.dc297.mqttclpro&hl=en_US

not work correctly with tasker for the "publish MQTT".

Downgrading to the 6.1 all works fine.

'Loading Tasker'

I'm currently experiencing an issue with Tasker on my Android 9 car unit. The app gets stuck on the 'Loading Tasker' screen and doesn't proceed further. My car unit runs on Android 9

I've tried restarting the device, clearing the app cache, and even uninstalling and reinstalling Tasker, but the issue persists.

Right now when a task get stopped by an error, the progress dialog started by the task will continue to show.

So adding a feature like, 'Destroy when the task fails/stops' will help to recognize that the task failed when not running from UI.

Based on the discussion here I would like to request this new feature for Tasker.

It appears that %anextras variable isn't populating after a text message is received and notification is intercepted by Autonotification.  I noticed this after running ADB permissions app a couple of months ago but I'm not sure ADB program had anything to do with this issue.  Help is needed to get it working again.

Is it possible to add an option to flash and autotools popup to add a border and set a border color around the whole toast? HTML border commands don't appear to work.

Thanks 

How about an integration of the Dhizuku API to grant tasker device owner permissions for phones that cannot be rooted at this time?

https://github.com/iamr0s/Dhizuku

Maybe as an additional checkbox next to the use root checkbox if the app is detected on the device and the permissions to use the app are granted to Tasker?

Would be beneficial for certain scenarios where a user may want to increase or decrease maximum tasks queued at different times without needing to manually do it inside of Tasker. 

I have several projects at the bottom. A few of them are locked. If I am in one of the locked projects, and then leave or close the app, then when I next open the app, I am naturally prompted for the lock code. However, if I don't have the lock code, then it forces me to leave the app. I can't find any way to switch to another project. I think it should allow for the option to switch to another project that isn't locked, given that "lock on startup" is not enabled.

Dear Joao,    many months ago I started using tasker. So far I have created everything I could mostly using autoinput since it was easier and a few tasker functions specifically for the profile part (time, event and state). The main reason I have started using tasker however is that i wanted to automate stuff I do on a daily basis. Along the way I have added the goal to integrate my devices via tasker and join and I'm still busy with that and so far it is going well. However there is one profile that i can't create since

It would be really useful if there was a variable, something like %ACTIVE that could be used in profiles to note when a task is running. It would be the same as using %TRUN !Set, but if possible, set to true and false when tasks run or not so that many profiles don't need to check for the turn state every time it changes.

Accidental touches cause profiles to be turned off. Can you provide an option by which users can decide to show a confirmatory box before turning on/off a profile from the home page?

Sent to support email, but trying here as well... I know from this closed post:

https://tasker.helprace.com/i1649-autolocation-can-t-backup-and-restore

That there is an update to AutoLocation to allow backup/restore on newer devices. However, that update isn't available yet on the Play Store (I am in the Autolocation beta). I cannot sideload apps on my device due to Work profile policy.

Can a fixed version be made available on the Play Store?

Using the Element Depth action on a video element causes all videos in the scene go black and restart. This is annoying because videos take several seconds to restart.

Happens no matter what combination of element or scene settings there is.

Proposal:

Allow multiple tasks, scenes, and profiles to have the same name so long as they're in different projects. You can have the default be to check the current project so you don't break people's stuff and you can make it so that if there's only one task with said name, it'll use that one to further the not breaking of stuff.

Examples:

1) Project "Main" has a task named "Get Project Name" which returns "Main" while the project "Chrome" also has one which returns "Chrome". You could access Main's task thusly, "Main(Get Project Name)" and if the calling task

Hi, I might be late to the game for this RC version.

I am wondering if you will add the ability to access icon pack directly? Since there is a new feature to add Task to launcher, we need to choose an icon.

For now, we can only choose the application icon, but if we can choose the icon from an icon pack directly, we have more option.

For example, I have a task to automate Google Maps direction. If I use the original application icon and put them side by side, it will be quite confusing because of the

I like to bring a running app to the foreground.

When I use the Launch app command it starts the app with its start screen.

Same as you would start the app when it was not running.

I need the app to stay on the screen it is on and only be brought to the foreground.

Same as if you would switch to an running app by hand.

I have a Wifi I regularly connect to. I have a Tasker profile that reacts to this Wifi being connected to and does some tasks. I recently enabled "Private DNS" setting in Android. Unfortunately this specific Wifi does not allow encrypted DNS (a.k.a. Private DNS). This means, I can connect to the Wifi successfully, but internet access over that Wifi is not working (exclamation mark besides the wifi symbol, internet not working with disabled mobile data).

I wanted to make Tasker disable "Private DNS" when connected to that Wifi and re-enable it when disconnecting to that Wifi. Unfortunately, this does

When i scroll through profiles/tasks in the lists i cannot see if there are some changed (not default) properties or profile/task -variables set.  This makes debugging hard, for ex. i wonder why my profile does not activate when in fact there is a cooldown set. 

If tasks/properties would have an indicator showing "there is something set in the properties." debugging would be a lot quicker sometimes.
