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

        Enter

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

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

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.

Tasker does not perform the task of switching bluetooth on/off. A message comes up that it is due to Google policy. I cannot use the " Auto off unpaired bluetooth" profile now. Is it possible to solve this problem?

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

If i try to create an "HTTP Response" for an previously received "HTTP Requests" it is not working if i call the Action "Test Next Alarm" in the same Task before the action "HTTP Response".

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

Title says.

Expected behaviour for disabled project.

1. The profiles status remains unchanged.
2. The profiles stop monitoring their assigned contexts, so they won't trigger the tasks they are tied with as if they are disabled.
3. The tasks and scenes are still useable by other projects.

I think It may be better to put the 3rd point under the action that toggles the project so user could have more control over their behaviour.

Some additional actions or variables may be needed to query their status, and retrieve the project list.

The Condition features are a great idea !!!   But what I miss most, is the possibilty to move, copy, paste a single condition statement within the IF of an action and to copy a single conditon statement to another action. In the example below, I would like to Move, Copy, Paste a single line like %WifiCMD ~ auto withthin the Condition block or to other Actions or IF statements !   Action Edit Condition %BatLow SET OR %WifiCMD ~ auto AND %Usr !SET

Suggestion (1)

I think placing the Copy & Paste options under the Conditions section would be better, than having to open the top menu.

I mean, instead of placing the correspondign options in the top menu, allow Tasker to show/hide the Copy/Paste buttons in the Conditions section if the user copies (and wanted to paste) conditions from an action. So, by default if no conditions are copied from any task, the buttons (copy) could remain hidden, and only appear (paste) when Tasker detects that some conditions have been copied.

• Copy button: always visible.
• Paste button: only appears when the user

Action to rearrange/move other actions inside a task by number or label.

Example: Move Action #5 to last place, first place or to number 10...

Currently when a notification is created there is no default on tap functionality.

We have to create another profile as NOTIFICATION CLICKED event and configure.

We should be directly able to configure on NOTIFICATION CLICK functionality in the NOTIFY action itself.

It will be great addition to tasker imo.

When writing code for a task, it would be useful to be able to implement something like a try-catch block, similar to this ... try   action-1   action-2   action-3   ... more actions and logic ... catch    action-a    action-b    action-c    ... perform these actions and logic if    any of the actions in the "try" block fail;    otherwise, skip this "catch" block if all    of the "try" actions succeed ... end-try-catch

It doesn't necessarily have to be this exact try/catch syntax, but whatever the exact syntax, similar functionality would be useful and

Is there any workaround to make Tasker correctly identify a Wi-Fi SSID containing a forward slash until a bugfix is available? (/)

Hi! 

I have recently bought a new phone but I can't restore my geofences from my previous phone. I only have the option to backup but not to restore. If I click backup it tells me the file path and says it doesn't exist.

I can see someone else has the same issue here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/167l1yq/autolocation_autoshare_others_cant_backuprestore/?rdt=47611

Please make text a different color (maybe yellow?) for actions that are depreciated, similar to how you have some in red if unavailable on that phone. 

that will make it easier to select their replacement the first time without looking for it. 

thanks for all your hard work

When using a variable to create part or all of the Action Label for an action within the Notify action, the notification correctly displays the variable value in the label. However, when clicking the action label to perform an action, the performed action's %caller variable displays the variable name instead of the variable value.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a task with the Alert -> Notify action.
2. In the Notify action, scroll down to the Actions section and add an action.
3. Give the action a label that includes a variable.
4. Set the action to Alert -> Flash. Set the Flash action's

When using "Element Add Geomarker" there is a field called "Spot Colour" which allows you to set the colour of the spot surrounding the marker.

If the spot radius is set to 0, this parameter disappears, which makes sense. But if you set spot radius to a variable (e.g. %marker(3)) the spot colour parameter also disappears. This means you can only use spot colour if the radius is a constant.

I imagine this isnt intended

(this is technically a duplicate of https://tasker.helprace.com/i1124-mock-up-on-tasker but the title of that post is misleading, at best. It also doesn't have very detailed requirements or a user story. So, here is a better one:)

As a user of Tasker, I need the ability to be able to set my system's location via the Developer Option's Mock Location App feature so I can ask Tasker to set a fake GPS location for the rest of the system.

I also need the ability for Tasker to "see past" that fake location so that profile conditions that use Location-driven conditions still work as
