    In input dialog action it will be most and most useful and understandable to everyone if input type is as calendar and clock. Now it is  in numerical. This will be most useful to new users.

    Maximum tasks queue

    Mahammad Rafi · 0 · Posted

    Hi joaomgcd 

    As title says that when maximum number of tasks reached tasker flashes a message as "Maximum tasks queued. Ignoring new tasks." Tasker will also notify tasks names, by clicking notification  user can get tasks list and stop those tasks which were low priority. This will be most useful to all users. 

    Thanks in advance from record4

    ALERT/SAY %TIME not consistent

    Task: ALERT/SAY  Text: The time is %TIME

    Result if 09:56: "The time is nine fifty-six."

    Result if 10:28: "The time is ten point two eight."

    This can be easily recreated by:

    Task: ALERT/SAY  Text: 09.56 10.28

    Any sensor event always on irrespective of other condition?

    RmatriX1218 · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi,

    I have a profile Call state any + any sensor state -> speakerphone On,

    However, when I put my hand to proximity sensor any sensor event turns green even there is no call state.

    Does it mean it keeps checking any sensor condition irrespective of other conditions and possible battery drain?

    I don't have any means to validate this except reporting to you to check at your end.

    Thanks.

    Icons in Tasks action list to have visual effect in coding

    RmatriX1218 · 0 · Posted

    Can we add small tweak to current UI to have visual effect that makes understanding coding bit easier?

    At present, we have only list of statements with serial number in Task action list.

    On the other hand, we have already used some icons for each Action category, when we are adding new action.

    Can we have same icon along with various listed actions within Tasks? I guess this can give UI new flavor without much effort and will be useful while looking at codes.

    Missing permissions "Start a phone call"

    Richard Pickett · 1 · Last reply by Richard Pickett

    Samsung Note 20 Ultra, Android 10, kernel 4.19.81, not rooted.

    I'm trying to write a simple task that will send calls to voicemail if the number isn't in my address book.

    I've enabled all the permissions on tasker (screenshot attached), but it still says it needs the "Start a phone call" permission when I either activate it or just try "playing" it.

    Here's the error when I "play" it: (also screenshot)

    18.09.27/E Tasker needs the following permission(s) for the functionality you have configured: Start a phone call 18.09.27/E End Call: don't have permission(s): Start a phone call 18.09.27/E result: stop

    Functionality included in Tasker to enable mirroring a phone's screen to another phone and/or PC

    Tosin Bashiru · 0 · Posted

    Hello! Tasker is so amazing it gives me so much power and control over my Android phone.

    Then a thought crossed my mind: "Could Tasker have a feature that enables the mirroring a phone's screen to another phone and/or a PC".

    I would be happy if this idea would be considered and super excited if eventually rolls out in future versions...

    Local Variable Passthrough & Child Variable Inheritance

    Robin Tinsley · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I'm not seeing expected behaviour in 5.9.3 using Local Variable Passthrough and the Child Inheritance.

    As an example;

    So the value of %localvar is established in ParentTSK, then shared with SCENE1 when ParentTSK calls it, then shared with ChildTSK when SCENE1 calls it, and updated in SCENE1 via the Local Variable Passthrough.

    In practice, the process does not run as expected:

    As you can see, once the ChildTSK ends, even though it’s told to update the local variables in the parent task, the value of %localvar returns to its previous state.

    This is not expected behaviour, %localvar from ChildTSK should

    Tasker deleted my recent configuration changes when I pressed on back up

    siegmund freud · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I clicked on backup on google drive and my configuration was actually gone instead of being saved, I did not press the wrong button, it asked me where to save my backup, I didn't choose anything for the local storage, pressed "back" and then pressed "ok" when the prompt to save it on google drive came and I chose the exact drive folder. Couldnt restore it from the backup Maybe it had to do with the following bug: when I use the autoinput app and go on the button "use via tasker" then it loads up a different tasker configuration

    Tasker Notification Unreliable

    Tyler McBride · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I created a notification event that will play a song extremely loud so to wake myself up during the night if a certain notification was intercepted from a different app. The problem is that the profile does not always trigger even though a notification appears on the other app. Checking the log also shows that the event was not triggered. Attached are how I've created the profile and task.

    If anyone can determine the issue just from my post please let me know else I will provide more information about my device settings, even though I've checked to make sure

    Tasker blocked by Instacart Shopper App!

    Robert Kane · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I've been working on a utility for the Instacart Shopper App (the one that the individuals who do the shopping for the customers use).  To be clear, this is not a "bot" designed to grab batches.  It is meant to download the user's info such as earnings.

    This week Instacart made a change to the app that is deliberately preventing Tasker from functioning!  It's seems to impact the Autoinput Action to "click" on items in the menu (all Actions and Field Types aren't working).  Tasker can still click on other screen areas, but nothing associated with the menu (see attachments).

    No error messages with profile disabled

    Nirnic · 0 · Posted

    Hi! Could it be possible to only get error messages when the profile which generated it is enabled? Use case: I'm using an app plugin to create a profile, I uninstalled that app and disable that profile, and get error messages because Tasker doesn't find the plugin. The only way to make those messages disappear is deleting the respective profile, but I would like to keep it to enable it if I reinstall the app needed in future, so I don't have to create it again from scratch. It would be nice.

    Thank you!

    Send SMS option Store In Messaging App is unchecked, but the SMS still shows up in messaging app

    bucky · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have a basic profile for replying location:

    Look at received texts

    -> Get Location v2 (Enable location if needed)

    -> Send SMS (send to %smsrf; message is map url; Store in messaging app is unchecked)

    The sent sms still shows up in the default messages app (Google Messages).  Does the same thing on a Pixel and Pixel 3.

    Are there any suggestions as to how to stop the sent message from showing up in the messaging app?

    Thanks,

    Seems to have issues distinquisting between similar phone numbers

    Marketing · 0 · Posted

    We need to call number 2*1500 to sign in to our phone network, and 2**1500 to sign out.

    Very similar numbers, as you can see.

    Tasker seems to be a bit confused about this. Trying to add two tasks - one when calling 2*1500 and another when calling 2**1500

    The solution was to have contacts with these numbers (that we had already) and then in Tasker use the name of the contact instead of the number.
