    Task Running Timeout

    Kyle Tameirao · 0 · Posted

    An option under Task properties to enable a timeout after x time so that tasks that get stuck due to actions without timeouts or whatever the reason. This will essentially end the task regardless of its status so other tasks that are Q'd up can proceed without incident. 

    When third party plugins are involved, and even some native Tasker actions, often times errors will result in tasks never completing and end up stuck in an indefinite run state even when "Continue Task After Error" is selected. If the action doesn't throw an error, then it'll just keep trying to execute

    Undo button

    Productivity · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hey there! It’d be awesome to have an ‘undo’ button for changes. Sometimes you make moves in task steps that you need to undo, but only for a specific action—kind of like a Ctrl+Z. Because let’s face it, just quitting the task or hitting cancel doesn’t always cut it for what you need 🤓👍

    Location profile radius

    When creating a location profile, it would be nice if we could manually edit the GPS radius. 20km is too small and 50km too wide for what I need it for.

    Run task once given time of day

    Ball · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have a task that I only want to run once after setting a time of day. In other words, when (manually) triggered, it would prompt the user for a time of day then run the task once. I see no way of doing this presently and editing a task every time is highly cumbersome given I'd have to do that every time.

    "monitoring > running profiles" <-- edit directly from list

    David · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I noticed "monitoring > running profiles". That's such a good idea, but it would be better if you could go directly from there to edit which ever profile you tap!

    Feature Request: Allow more actions to use Variables

    ArsiTheFox · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    We need the ability to allow more of the Tasker actions to use more variables like Torch, Beep, ect....

    For example:

    • Using a variable to turn on the Torch using True or False
    • Variables for Beep to input the parameters like Duration and Frequency

    I believe having alot more Actions to optionally use Variables would allow users have ALOT more fine control with their scripts/tasks

    A request for the DEV (u/joaomgcd), if it's possible to implement on Autosheets plugin. 🙏

    Marco Cipriano · 2 · Last reply by Marco Cipriano

     Hi DEV joaomgcd,

    It's possible to implement on Autosheets plugin the possibility to "Add/Get/Update Image" on the cells? 😇🙏

    That would have a great usage to automate even more the way we lead with Google Sheets.

    Thanks in advance for your support and attention on such forum with this dimension, keep it up, 🙏🙌

    Event/State change for change of audio output

    MattH · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Tasker currently has state change to detect Headset Plugged, and BT connect/disconnect.

    However recent versions of Android (and some apps e.g. Pocket Casts) provide an ability to show/change audio output without connecting/disconnecting e.g. BT device is connected, can change to internal speaker, or with 2 BT devices connected can switch between them.

    Therefore I'd like an event/state change to detect when audio output changes - perhaps with 2 associated variables: audio output (i.e. Speaker/BT/Plugged headset) and device name (to allow trigger only for specific audio output e.g. Car).

    I currently do this using logcat entries, however this is device/phone specific

    Choose a number while using the contact via app action

    ghajni · 0 · Posted

    When using the contact via app action, it asks for the contact name rather then the number. In cases of contacts with multiple numbers, it only uses the first number (i.e. if a contact has two numbers beginning with 7, and the second with 8, it will use the first number). There's no option to change that setting, so I was hoping you could add an option to choose the number.

    Toggle location for profile when needed

    Perppel · 1 · Last reply by Perppel

    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

    Urgent Enhancements and Suggestions for Tasker / Javascript joaomgcd

    s · 0 · Posted

    Hello Tasker Community,

    1. Synchronous "Perform Task" Option: It would be beneficial to have a synchronous version of the "Perform Task" action in JavaScript. This would be particularly useful when we need to wait for a task to complete before proceeding.

    2. Plugin Compatibility in JavaScript: Exploring ways to improve plugin compatibility with JavaScript actions, such as AutoInput plugins, could open up new possibilities for automation.

    3. Update JavaScript Library: Updating the JavaScript library to include all native actions would help streamline JavaScript usage within Tasker.

    4. Logging JavaScript Console Output: A feature to log JavaScript console output to a file would be handy

    Progress Dialog Self Destroy

    Abhishek M · 0 · Posted

    Right now when a task get stopped by an error, the progress dialog started by the task will continue to show.

    So adding a feature like, 'Destroy when the task fails/stops' will help to recognize that the task failed when not running from UI.

    dhizuku integration for added permissions (device owner) on non rooted phones

    Scott John · 0 · Posted

    How about an integration of the Dhizuku API to grant tasker device owner permissions for phones that cannot be rooted at this time?

    https://github.com/iamr0s/Dhizuku

    Maybe as an additional checkbox next to the use root checkbox if the app is detected on the device and the permissions to use the app are granted to Tasker?

    Would be beneficial for certain scenarios where a user may want to increase or decrease maximum tasks queued at different times without needing to manually do it inside of Tasker.

    Tasker Active/Inactive State

    Jason Cooper · 0 · Posted

    It would be really useful if there was a variable, something like %ACTIVE that could be used in profiles to note when a task is running. It would be the same as using %TRUN !Set, but if possible, set to true and false when tasks run or not so that many profiles don't need to check for the turn state every time it changes.

    Accidental touches cause profiles to be turned off. Can you provide an option by which users can decide to show a confirmatory box before turning on/off a profile from the home page?
