The idea is in a task flow hold on untill something is changed or something is accomplished.

There can be an optional wait time specified for maximum time to wait.

Like in a task wait untill internet available, or wait untill a variable changed(although it is available in wait untill task, there is no option for maximum time to wait). Moniter something in between a task and proceed after it changed status. 

Using multiple profiles can accomplish this but giving this option would really be helpful.

I'd like to be able to use the number picker in a scene for picking a time, but I don't want to have to scroll through every number. I'd like to be able to scroll by increments of my choosing  such as 5, 10, or 15 to make it easier to pick a time

As much as I love Tasker, this is not the social media app that needs to grab my attention. It is a tool that I use to automate my workflows. 

I don't like the fact that Tasker seems to place notification badges on new actions. It creates annoyance after every update and it makes me annoyed at the new features (exactly opposite feeling to the one I wanted).

It would be useful if there was a way to disable that.

When i create a standalone app with appfactory 5.6, the the media button event is not received by the app. In tasker 5.6 itself it works perfectly.

Please help. I'm stuck! 

Tasker occasionally crashes. Quite old problem and have not been fixed still. And when it does crash, it also triggers all or most of the tasks to action, apparently all at the same time. This is very old problem since Tasker 4 and have had this with Android 5, 6 and 7.

Might be some bug if too much going on at the same time? Maybe should optimize my stuff and give different priorities to tasks (as I have never done that)? Or maybe need more powerful smartphone to run my stuff without crashing?

I have observed that crash phenomenon

To get a better sense as to how your complex structures operate it would be great if run log could be somehow visualized through live animated flow charts. Would be able to debug quicker, make improvements quicker, and able to create and understand more complex systems. The whole awesomeness of Tasker is after all making programming easier and it could also break barriers as to how complex things could be made by making the creation process easier.

When migrating to a  new phone the settings don't get copied over with Samsung Smart Switch. So, I tried creating a manual backup on the old phone, which creates a local file backup but the manual restore option looks for a Google drive backup.

Please sync up manual backup and restore options.

It's quite tedious selecting lines of code with a finger. It seems to me that the slightest movement while executing a long click in order to select the first of a block of lines results in that line not becoming selected. Subsequent lines are, of course easy to select and deselect once that first line has been successfully selected. A little square box in the margin against each line could be ticked or unticked to cause the selection or deselection perhaps?

I use Vysor so i can edit using a computer.  The only minor annoyance is that I have a display sleep setting on my phone for 2 minutes under normal circumstances (sometimes i need more than 2 minutes to think before i keep adding stuff lol).  Of course, we are unable to modify 'display on' settings for Tasker using a Tasker profile itself, so can there but a UI checkbox item to force display always on when Tasker is active and return to previous display sleep setting when Tasker is not active on screen? 

I use latest Custom Quick Settings and Tasker versions on Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus (SM-G901F), LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1).

Custom Quick Settings tiles like reboot and reboot recovery work from quick settings, but using them in Tasker has no result.

Please, make switching LineageOS profiles possible by Tasker.

When I tap on the help button in Tasker I often get "page not available". Because I use German system language Tasker help links to German help pages. That's nice, but many pages seem not to be translated.

Please, if there is no German help page but an English one for an item redirect to the English page.

Thank you very much.

When a 'get voice ' action is run and Tasker has not been closed (by backing out) and is in the background,  the action will bring tasker to the foreground and show the get voice input promt. This will not happen if tasker has been closed by using the back button prior to the action running.

I have an Android 5.1 phone where the End Call action works properly. I have another Android 5.1 phone where Tasker shows the End Call action as disabled. However, in the past I was able to import a task that included the End Call action into the disabled phone and the End Call action would still work. Now when I attempt this, the End Call action just brings up a notification saying (paraphrasing) "End Call action is disabled on this device." It would be nice if Tasker attempted to perform the End Call action even if it is deemed disabled

Does not work on Moto E4 or Samsung S8+ %DEVID returns NQ... correct value %DEVMOD returns SM-G955U %DEVTID returns %DEVTID

same behavior in v5.6 I don't know how far before v5.5 this stopped working

If tasker is disabled and I wanto to enable it I touch "Enable Tasker" from app menu. This doesn't enable the app. To actually enable it, after enabling tasker from the menu, I have to click on any profile and then to confirm the action through the tick that appears on top bar. At this point Tasker enables itself and everything works right

On this web page { https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/activity_main.html } if you click on "menu options" you get to { https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/menus } which says "The requested URL /userguide/en/menus was not found on this server."

Hi João,

While using Tasker, I kind of felt that if there was an option to colour code the related tasks, then it would be really helpful for people like us to easily identify the related tasks.. For Eg : if I use a task to show wifi notification using AutoNotification and I add the cancel wifi button function to it, then the cancel wifi functionality is implemented using another profile right? Which will have a cancel wifi task to it.. These tasks if colour coded like having the same colour blue or something then it makes easier for us
