    Add altitude above sea level to Get Location v2

    Matthew Bellringer · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Currently, Get Location V2 returns the GPS altitude above the WGS84 ellipsoid. Whilst useful for some things, it's not a very human-relevant number, as most people think of altitude in terms of the height above sea level. Here's a good thread explaining the issue. Correcting for this issue within Tasker is non-trivial. 

    Android now has built-in support for making this correction. Could we have optional access to it through Get Location v2, please?

    Integrate AI into tasker to take action quickly

    Mosaad Gaber · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I suggest AI for Tasker and will be called Tasker Intelligence to do some action quickly. Any AI can't take action on any device and is limited. But Tasker with AI can do more action easily. I hope you all like this.

    copy and paste If criteria

    Lynda Howell · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    It'd be great to be able to copy the If section of one action to another.  There are certain criteria I use over and over, and typing them each time leads to typos.  And it's so frustrating to get a complex If tweaked just right and then realize I should have used a different action.  It'd be nice to be able to use Switch Action without losing the criteria, or to be able to copy the existing criteria and paste them into a new action.

    I'm not talking about copying the variable or value individually.  I know that's already possible.

    Variable driven scene checkboxes and toggles

    Bobby Chapman · 0 · Posted

    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.

    Project Export Without Including Profiles,Tasks,Scenes from Other Projects

    agnostic-apollo · 0 · Posted

    Can you add support for project export without including tasks/scenes/profiles from other projects.

    The problem is that say you have 3 projects. project 1 and 2 use common helper profiles,tasks and scenes which are all defined in project 3. Now if you export project 1 and 2 and share it with someone. They will only be able to import project 1 and importing project 2 will fail because when they imported project 1 all the helper tasks from project 3 were also imported, now they cant import project 2 because tasker already contains tasks with the same name.

    Moreover when

    Stop parent task (anonymous or named) and Stop all caller tasks

    valecnik · 0 · Posted

    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

    "Wait Until Command" Action

    Christian WS · 0 · Posted

    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.

    Feature Request: Support Named Regex Groups in If ~R Conditions

    JRG · 0 · Posted

    Please extend If ~R conditionals to support named regular expression capture groups (e.g., (?<ssid>.*)), just as the Simple Match/Regex action does. This would bring consistency across matching actions and allow cleaner logic in reusable tasks by eliminating the need for intermediate extraction steps.

    Example:

    …should create the variable %ssid if matched, just like Simple Match/Regex already does.

    Thank you!
