    Remove Red/Green Indicator from If/Then/Else when Local Variable present

    Tasker Pro · 1 · Last reply by anonymized

    Anytime there's a local variable name present anywhere in an If/The/Else statement - the red/green indicator will never EVER light up correctly.

    Including and even when using the step-Play icon to go through the Task step-by-step.

    Therefore the red/green indicator should never show up whenever a local variable name is present in the comparison. It just creates clutter and confuses people newer to Tasker.

    For those people who have used Tasker for a while - although we've become accustomed to just ignoring it, with a solution so simple, that shouldn't have to be the case.

    I guess the ultimate suggestion

    A way for Tasker to indicate un-named Profiles

    Tasker Pro · 0 · Posted

    After a while of using Tasker and accumulating many Profiles - most folks end up with a mix of user-named Profiles along with Tasker-named (which are un-named) Profiles.

    Those un-named Profiles don't show up in %PENABLED or %PACTIVE and cause a bunch of other issues.

    There should be an option to indicate un-named Profiles when viewing the list in the Profiles Tab.

    After discussing in a thread on reddit the most popular (and simple) option idea was to put Tasker-named Profiles in italics in the Profiles List.

    Doing so could of course be an option in Preferences.

    "Play Ringtone" does not stop

    Stefan · 3 · Last reply by Ajedi32

    At least on some devices the action "Play Ringtone" does not stop playing the ringtone until Tasker is disabled or quit.

    The action "Play Music" is not always a good alternative because it changes %MTRACK which can be used to trigger music playing causing unwanted profiles to become active.

    So an action to stop the ringtone playing would be necessary or the ringtone should stop playing by itself after one loop or a configurable time.

    Intent Firewall

    Root use only, but apply a firewall for intents. This can implicitly block, allow and log all intents sent and received on Android and apps.

    Slider Scene Element Bugs

    Robert L Ryan · 2 · Last reply by Mahmoud Bader
    • Using the Element Value action on a slider, with the scene visible, fails to activate the Value Selected event task. The documentation clearly states that changing the slider value with this action should activate the event task.
    • The text for the indicators does not scale with screen resolution, making them practically useless. On my device they look like periods.
    • There is no way to change the color or width of the line the thumb slides on. Sky blue isn't always the best choice.
    • There is no obvious way to make a vertical slider.
    • During touch movement, the slider value does not

    Larger IF condition box

    Peter Kirkwood · 2 · Last reply by Matt Burns

    I would find it helpful if the right hand data condition field on IF actions were larger, maybe on a new line, or expandable? It's fine for a variable or constant, but I've been using some ~160 character regex conditions and they're awkward to edit. Yes, I know about regex101.com and copy&paste but to change one or two characters could be easier.

    Thanks for all your excellent work in any case.

    Action number variable

    Add another built-in variable for the current action number, %action, which could be used in user constructed error messages.

    Task icons shall change based on variables so the toggles I set in the quick settings menu and widgets tell the status of said task. (ex. Sound icon to vibrate icon based on whether my sound variables is 1 or 0 respectively) Developer

    Anwar Musa · 0 · Posted

    Use cases:

    I create a sound toggle task that turns sound on and off. Before running the task I always check a sound variable to check if the sound is on or off before running the appropriate task. The icon should show a 🔊 when the sound variable is true and should show a mute icon when the variable is false. 

    Music: play icon when music is paused, pause icon when music is playing

    Etc

    Allow variable to be set to result of search and replace

    Noel Yap · 5 · Last reply by Noel Yap

    It would be useful to perform a search and replace to a variable then place the result into another variable. Also doable, but more complicated in both implementation and use, is to allow lookahead regexes.

    Single line edit text element in scenes

    Delords Arthur · 1 · Last reply by Osuki Fujioka

    It would be great to be able to specify that certain edit text elements in scenes are single lines so that on the keyboard there's a next key instead of an enter key, similar to what you have when you set a maximum characters limit. Would greatly improve UX for a lot of scenes I've built

    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

     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, 🙏🙌

    Be able to show picture as not tinted for Progress Dialog

    SmartPhoneLover · 1 · Last reply by Abhishek M

    Currently, the Progress Dialog action, when configured to show an animation, it applies a tint to the configured picture, as shown below:

    I would like to be able to choose not to tint the picture(s), and instead show them with their original color scheme, as shown below:

    By this way, we can use our own set of icons to create a much more customized animation for the loader image.

    Direct-Purchase AutoApps License Activation Issues on Light Phone II

    TRod · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I'm using a Light Phone II, which is an feature phone running Android 8.1.0. I have the Direct Purchase version of Tasker activated on it and running fine, but I can't get AutoInput, or any other AutoApps for that matter, to activate so I can use them.

    When I enter any of my 7 unused licenes from the license portal at https://taskernet.com/?licenses, it says "Device Already Bound to a Different License." I have my WiFi activated on it and confirmed working, thinking that maybe it just needed to authenticate things itself, but after multiple reboots it still gives the same error, and
