Fix %BATT (Battery Level) variable "not valid" in Variable Value State context
Please fix this long standing "bug" (actually not implemented code), already described on the original thread here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tasker/8Nke4GLfa1I
Basically either the ability to put %BATT variable in Profile > State > Variables > Variable Value (not allowed at the moment) or to set the battery ranges by variable in Profile > State > Power > Battery Level.

Add an action for an extra-long Power Button
Tasker has actions for pressing physical buttons and for Long-pressing the Power button , and apparently (but not on my phone with Tasker 5.7.2)) double-tapping the power button and long-pressing the volume control buttons. What about extra-long pressing the Power button? On my phone (Droid Turbo 2, Android 7.0), tapping the power button blackens the screen/locks the phone, long-pressing the power button brings up the Power Off screen with only one option, and if you press the power button even longer, the Power Off screen disappears and the phone reboots. Can this be done without rooting the phone?

auto save task when back button is pressed
I think it's happen to all of us : we are trying to make a new task and someone call us on phone, or we receive important message => after, bad habits maybe, we close all the programs running in background...and we close tasker and we lost all our work !! :'(
The feature to auto save the task without clicking on the check mark on the top right side will be great
what do you think ?

Encryption and decryption folder
I would like the whole folder to be encrypted, at the moment only the contents are encrypted, thanks

API OpenStreetMap
I offer full integration of the OpenStreetMap API in Tasker, since the capabilities of Google Maps are limited. I propose to extract all possible information from the API into variables, such as street names, house numbers, POI names, etc. What do you think of this?

Option toggle to auto dismiss specific Join pushes
Similar to Pushbullet's integration, I request the ability, after intercepting a particular Join notification but not all of them.

Make an option for Import Data to permanently restore Tasker configuration
This would be especially useful for devices running Tasker which are mainly just automation devices hidden away -- the device automatically backs up its Tasker data which you can edit on your phone by importing the XML, but then you push the XML back to the automation device and it automatically restores it in the same way it would if going into Data -> Restore -> User Local Backup (without the need for AutoInput or anything).
Something like having the context be "File Restore.xml modified," "Read file," "Import Data."

In-line comments/notes in tasks, projects
I create somewhat complicated tasks that I like to add a lot of comments to. Right now I do this is the "Label" field of each a action. I sometimes use the anchor action at the top of the task and type in a large paragraph into the label field. Not sure if large text in the label fields can cause problems or excessive memory usage at runtime.
A simple dummy "comment" action would be a lot cleaner looking and could ignored at runtime.

More information about which Tasker action is running
In the notification while a Tasker action is running, there's no more information about which action/task is being executed.
In the attachment, you'll see what I mean. This notification has been on the shade since last 9 minutes and I don't know what's happening. Perhaps, the notification can include more details (name or number for anonymous tasks). If multiple tasks are running, then the notification could show a list.

Invert and Minimal option for Significant Motion event
Currently the Significant Motion event works fine, but the problem is that there is no way to trigger anything when such motion has stopped or reduced.
There could two sub-options for the event:
1. Minimal - reduced thresholds (to trigger slight movements)
2. Inverted - No motion is detected (whether significant or minimal)
-
Event context for orientation change
We have orientation based states, but nothing to allow us to trigger actions based on change in orientation without concerning about what orientation the phone was and currently in.
This will allow us to react faster to phone being picked up, being flipped, is held, etc.

Tasker plugin to show variables in Androids screensaver feature.
I use Androids screensaver in combination with the Chronus screensaver plugin to display the time and local weather while my phone is wirelessly charging on a cradle.
It would be great if a Tasker plugin could be implemented that can show any stored variable on Androids screensaver. You could then have almost limitless options to show any information while Android displays its screensaver.
If this is feasible, it would also be beneficial to customize the font type, color, size and position.
Just a suggestion.

Bluetooth Near State to have RSSI filter
Since we can now get RSSI values from the Bluetooth Info Acrion, why not allow it as a filler in the Bluetooth Near State?
This will enable use of any BT device to help geolocate the tasker device (or user) based on strength of RSSI.. Many interesting use cases:
- unlock pc when near pc
- start Spotify when near BT speaker
- cast to the right tv when in a new room
Bluetooth is getting so powerful that BT near is no longer near, so we need more granular customization!

An action to get the cordinates of the current fingers on the screen.
I'm planing a useful task, but there is a crutial step, which is getting the current finger location on the screen, and see if the finger is touching on a specific area, then perform different actions.
I've searched many methods, but neither Tasker Actions nor Plugins can offer the touched location. I know that using Java Function (android.view.accessibility) might be able to do it, but it's a pity I'm not knowlegeable about java function.
So here I wish Joao Dias could add Tasker an action of getting touched location. This action would bring greatly convinience for some scenes.

Timer event and state
Hello guys...
Requesting a timer event and state, gonna explain how it works below;
Time event;
For example we can create a profile consists of a timer event and a proximity sensor state, so if proximity is true for less than 3 sec perform A and if it's more than 5 secs perform action B.
Timer state;
Add a timer state and add it up with a display off state and a turn on event so if the screen was off between 30 to 60 seconds and turned on in this period it will trigger a specific action...
Or eg.

All date actions and variables should have a locale parameter
Similar to the say action where you can pass the voice as parameter all date related actions including Variable Convert should support a locale parameter. The locale should be either system default when omitted or en, fra, pt, de, etc. For variables like %DATE I suggest to offer virtual array with the locale as the index, e.g. %DATE(en)

Add Timeout to "Ping" action
Ping action can get a delay to a website, so we can use that to test if the network (like a wifi you connected) is connected to the Internet, but when the network is not connected to the Internet, the Ping action won't stop for quit a few seconds.
So here is the suggestion, add timeout to this action, if the ping time has last for more than the timeout we have set (say 500ms), then continue the task.

New Tasker function getDateFormatted
Can we please have this as a Tasker function? I guess it's a very common functionality needed by many ambitious projects and if anybody has already the function in his Tasker configuration new imports of projects containing this task as well will fail.
