I restored the Tasker settings to a second device (same model) I had installed a Custom-ROM on. The backup contained many tasks that need storage access. When one creates such a task manually Tasker requests permission for that access. This does not happen when tasks are restored from a backup. Now each time such a task is triggered by a profile for the first time, Tasker requests storage permission. But the request neither contains the task nor the requested directory. This is very inconvenient and may lead to data loss.

I have two requests:

1. Short term: Show the requesting task

In Android 6 (Samsung Note 4) notification bar is not shown, starting with last major release (6.5?) Still the same with 6.5.11. PlayStore version

How about adding option in the Music Play action to choose an internal ringtone from the ringtones/notifications menu of the device? There is the Play Ringtone action but as you know it can do a lot of harm (less funny) when you get loop of audio playing. I would even suggest to remove it completely and adding all the options to the Music Play action but i know you afraid of breaking stuff for users.

Having more than one Tasker license makes it more difficult to know which license belong to which device. That is why i am suggesting to have the option in https://taskernet.com/?licenses to add a name/Name tag to each license so it would be no brainer to know which one belongs to which device. 

I have two smaller proposals:

1. 

it would be useful to add to Stop task possibility of:

- stopping parent task (both anonymous and named) 

- stopping all parent caller tasks

currently it can be done by parsing %caller() variable but it is difficult and not possible to obtain task name for anonymous tasks

2. 

Possibility to set cooldown times on profiles for both active and inactive states (currently is possible for active state only)

These two things can be useful for situations where for example I need profile with state WiFi connected and need to prevent situations where I'm

The command system is incredibly powerful and simple to use, it can be used as a way to simplify various projects and tasks into a single one that takes the command and does stuff based on the command itself.

It is easier than "Run Task" because the syntax is significantly easier. However, the drawback is that if you have one task that triggers a command and another that gets triggered by it, the first one has no way of knowing if the second one finished without problem, as there's no "return variable" option and no way to logically allow it.

In scenes could you please update checkbox and toggles so that their default value can be variable driven? Currently you can only choose of they are on or off instead of setting the state with a variable.

I have a task set up to look for alarm when specific notification categories are received. After updating to the Samsung One UI 7.0, it appears to no longer check for this and instead alarms on any notification matching the criteria, regardless of the specified Notification Category Name.

Sometimes, actions do not time out properly and a task could literally end up running indefinitely causing device to heat up. Add an option in task settings to force kill the task after x seconds.

If I show a scene and check "Continue Task Immediately" it is cumbersome to destroy it manually if the user leaves.

Can we have an Option (e.g. Checkbox) to auto-destroy a scene on dismiss (back button press, home button press, ...) for the "Show Scene" task?

When using Tasker with root access there are continuous root access toast popups.

Magisk is supposed to give root request toasts only when an app is using root but for Tasker I am getting like 25 log entries and alerts in 1 minute for Tasker. This is preventing me to browse magisk logs as they are getting filled by tasker. I am only using root in one task to run a shell command so Tasker shouldn't continuously request root access.

Attaching a screenshot of the sample, if we could have a toggle to prevent background root checks or add a

Hello, I downloaded the APK of version 6.4.15 and the trial is not working, no matter if I chose tasky or tasker.

Hi.

The event &SCREENON& is no more sent to Autowear with Wear OS 5.1 but is sent when we move back to the watch homescreen from a tile, from the quick settings panel or from the notification panel.

&SCREENOFF& is still OK.

Hello,

In tasker app there is no decimal

Please include decimal number in "Task"  variables "Variable add > Value"

1. I can not add decimal number like 0.5 or 0.3 or 0.003, I suggest to inlude three to four zero after points = 0.0001, hence can use it

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?

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

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  

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.
