    Context based Scene Object Selection like "thisScene"

    AdiraiMaji · 0 · Posted

    It would be highly beneficial to have an option to specify "thisScene" in tasks that modify scene elements or handle item clicks. Currently, when cloning a scene containing such tasks, the reference in the task list remains linked to the original scene. This means changes made through item clicks in the cloned scene still affect the original. Adding a "thisScene" option would ensure that tasks in a cloned scene operate independently, controlling only the cloned copy without impacting the original scene. This enhancement would greatly improve flexibility and usability when working with cloned scenes.

    Orange Pi Zero 3 - problem with Direct Purchase Activation

    Flávio Augusto · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello, my friend! 

    First of all, congratulations on your excellent work. I’m already a Tasker user on mobile and just subscribed to your Patreon to get access to a Direct Purchase license. 

    The device I’m using doesn’t have Google Play—it’s an Orange Pi Zero 3 running a version of Android. 

    I’m unable to add the license because the 3-dot menu doesn’t appear. While researching, I found some old Reddit threads about similar issues, but the suggested solutions involved creating a task to open the preferences or checking for operational problems like Overscan settings, which didn’t work for me.

    Disable "Calls" when specific Bluetooth device is connected

    Brian Auerbach · 3 · Last reply by Brian Auerbach

    When connecting in my car, I have two Bluetooth devices (the car and an Android head unit).  The car connection needs to be used for calls, but the phone always defaults to the incorrect device when answering a call.

    When I get in the car and the devices connect, I can resolve this by going into the Bluetooth settings for the head unit and deselecting "Calls", but that setting does not persist the next time I get in the car.

    I'd like Tasker to be able to change that setting upon connection to the specified device.

    Task for Wifi state connected not working as expected

    joolz1 · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi,

    I have setup a profile which has:

    WIFI CONNECTED STATE: When connected to specific SSID, then Initiate a task.

    This works as expected when I connect to said SSID, _HOWEVER_ the EXIT TASK only works when you physically manually turn off the Wifi from the android quick settings menu. If you walk far enough away from the wifi that mobile data kicks back in, the EXIT TASK fails to run.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Notification action option to dismiss notification

    Mark · 0 · Posted

    The default behaviour of notification actions (the buttons on a notification) for most apps is that they do something as well as dismiss that notification.

    In tasker you can only assign a single action to a notification action button. For more complex actions you have to point to a task.

     

    It would be great if a checkmark can be added to the notification action to also dismiss the notification when it's clicked. That would make this behavior a lot easier to program in tasker.

    webdav support

    Jack · 0 · Posted

    Would be highly useful if webdav support is possible. The reason for asking is that a lot of people are wanting to degoogle, but some services and apps such as tasker only support Google Drive. Adding WebDAV support to be able to back up tasker settings and config would ensure less reliance on google. There was a post on this 5 years ago here

    Variable / array local or global dependent on special character in its name and tasker config setting

    Professor Knox · 0 · Posted

    When creating a task, it's likely to have a certain number of global variables / arrays global to be able to check their content for debuggung.

    When having task development finished, certain global variables / arrays should be local because they are much more run-time efficient than being global.

    It's a certain work to change global variables / arrays to local and also a certain risk to miss a variable / array somewhere in an action, and task doesn't work no longer as expected.

    My proposal: Would it be possibe that variables / arrays with an e.g. leading or trailing

    Action to fetch Fitness Data from Health Connect

    Ranjith Jayadevan · 1 · Last reply by zc m

    If tasker can natively fetch fitness data from Health Connect it would be great. There is an existing tasker plugin that does the job (GitHub - RafhaanShah/TaskerHealthConnect: Android Health Connect Plugin for Tasker). But it would be great if this can be included in Tasker. The plugin can fetch data for specified number of days and out put as json string. something similar would be nice.

    Input dialogs hide scenes displayed as activity and dialog

    JasonYate · 0 · Posted

    The only solution is to launch a scene and instantly hide it just before showing the input dialog, but that's double the work. I would appreciate it, João, if this problem could be taken into account so that it can be solved.

    Scene Textedit Autocorrect

    Kit Tihonovich · 0 · Posted

    The TextEdit Dialog contains no AutoCorrect functionality.  If, for example, you use an Input Dialog you can use the reference "245841" for input type to get all AutoCorrect functionality (and multi-line) which is what I need.  It seems this has been an issue for years and I think it should be considered a bug more than a feature request.  A TextEdit dialog should function as text does literally anywhere else in android.

    Toasts Tasker Layout: Image Aspect Ratio

    Dan · 0 · Posted

    It looks like the Icon for a Flash in Tasker Layout is always assumed with Aspect Ratio 1:1.

    I have an Image rather 16:9, and want to show it big. it doesn't get stretched, but with empty Borders Top and Bottom. The Text is aligned Top. Not really nice :-p

    Is there a Way to prevent emtpy Space Top/Bottom? Not just one Number for the Icon Size, but maybe 60x30? Or a HTML/CSS Code i didnt try, that helps me with that?

    Similar goes for Text/Title. It looks like its alignment is fixed to TopLeft within the Toast. Things like:

    Option to launch List Dialog even when variable or array isn't defined

    Kyle Tameirao · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Current behavior is to error out and display nothing. This makes it difficult to use a list dialog for user populated global arrays if no items were entered yet. Id like to use the list dialog buttons to begin the creation of an item within the array and for that I need the list to launch similar to a text dialog with an empty list until an item is added to array.

    Android 10: after starting tasker, unable to get past notification screen

    Raphael Valo · 1 · Last reply by Raphael Valo

    Dear Dev Team,

    I bought Tasker, but I am unable to start it. When tasker is being started, then a full screen message opens with "Data Access and Collection in Tasker" and there is no button / option to continue to the app itself. Disabled notifications for Tasker, but no change. Using Android 10 tablet. How to proceed to the app itself?

    PS: is the app even compatible with tag type ISO 14443-3A / NTAG21? The current built-in nfc reader of that particular tablet only read the UID. The idea of having bougth tasker in the first place, is to
