Colour Coding Tasks
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

Call events dual sim support
Hello,
When waiting for call event like "Missed Call" I need to find out which sim card the call was missed on. this not supported now. This prevents me from using the app, instead I use Automate app :-(
there is support when I send SMS for second sim card.. but that is for nothing if I don't knoiw where I missed the call :-D

Misc JavaScript improvements
- Currently "perform task" from JavaScript is asynchronous only and task results are unavailable. It would be good to the option of having a synchronous version which returns results as an additional option. Sure, it's not included now for a reason. But it would be good to have the option even if it would just fail when you e.g. run a task with another JavaScript action in it.
- Currently plugins are not usable. I can see this being basically impossible to address from within JS directly, so perhaps the first point is the best solution here.
- Update JS library to include

Add contact card URI to types that can be returned in a Test Phone action
I have the following task that is executed to open the contact card for a specified contact. A1: Test Phone [ Type:Contact Thumb URI Data:%acnumber Store Result In:%cid ] A2: Variable Search Replace [ Variable:%cid Search:/photo Ignore Case:Off Multi-Line:Off One Match Only:Off Store Matches In: Replace Matches:On Replace With: ] A3: Send Intent [ Action:android.intent.action.VIEW Cat:None Mime Type: Data:%cid Extra: Extra: Extra: Package: Class: Target:Activity ] However, this only works if the contact has a photo associated with it. If no "Contact Thumb URI" exists for a given contact (i.e. there is no photo associated with the contact), then the "Test

Base Project Vars/Scenes/Tasks Only
An option in the settings to Enable/Disable Project-Only Elements.
The idea is that when this option is turned on, while in the menu for selecting the required Variable/Scene/Task, only the ones in the current project will be shown rather than showing all the Variable/Scenes/Tasks available in the whole.
This would come very handy for people with large number of projects so that they don't have to search within a large number of other Vars/Scenes/Tasks to select the one they desire.

Grouped tasks.
I have several groups of tasks that work together I would like to be able to select them as a group and have that group collapsible for easier management of tasks and make for a cleaner default task screen.
Additionally it might be nice to be able to turn on or off all grouped tasks rather than having to use several on and off tasks.

Ability to change orientation of text in text element despite the orientation of the scene.
Ex.
Screen orientation is portrait but able to put the text in a scene in landscape

Search Action option for Literal Search (not using Regex)
I think sometimes the Search Action throws people off who don't know regular expressions. And sometimes even if you know regex - you want a straight/literal/exact Search/Replace.
There should be a checkbox in the Search Action to use or not use Regex for the Search.
As an additional example - "AutoTools > Text > Replacements" has this kind of checkbox to enable Regex.

Integrated file browsing
There is already a file browser inside tasker for setting variables. We should be able to use the same page as an action. More so now that file magic is no longer on the play store.
-
Allow more trigger conditions for profiles.
Currently, the number of conditions is limited to for. Four. I would like to be able to specify more conditions.
(I know there's a workaround by convincin several conditions into one but sometimes there's just no good name that can be used for the wrapping condition and it just pollutes the namespace).

get all active profiles with %PACTIVE and %PENABLED
The variables %PACTIVE and %PENABLED do not contain Profile names that have been assigned by Tasker, regardless of if they are active or enabled. Those variables will only contain the names of user-named Profiles. Also the expected function of %PACTIVE and %PENABLED is to get all Profiles that are enabled or active.
Also some of the names that Tasker uses for auto-naming look like they were named by a user, which can cause problems later on, if an user thinks the profile was named by him.

File operations on SMB shares
Having the possibility to do file operations (e. g. Test File, List Files, Copy, Rename File, Create Folder) on SMB shared folders would make many tasks like syncing some files to a local NAS or a share on the PC much easier.

More direct integration between Tasker and Torque
There's a bunch of us who would like more direct integration between Tasker and Torque, an app that pulls data from an automobile's diagnostics port. At this time we only have a "hack," where Tasker reads the Torque logfile. This is very inefficient and introduces substantial delay into the data stream. For example, I use it to adjust the media volume on my phone based upon the speed of the vehicle (i.e. "dynamic volume), but the delay is several seconds and is very noticeable. A more direct data stream would eliminate such a delay and remove the inefficiencies of the

FTP for Tasker
My suggestion is to add a feature that lets the user perform basic FTP Upload and Download operations that support Tasker tasks and also kid apps created through Tasker App Factory.
It could have the following Parameters:-
Mode(Dropdown box): Upload/Download options.
Host:
Username:
Password:
Source File:
Destination Directory:
Timeout:
ASCI Mode/Binary Mode (Check Box)
Local Passive/Extended Passive Mode (Checkbox)

Replace Notify My Android
Notify My Android was discontinued😐
Please add a different provider to allow communication to android via web url similar to how Notify My Android.

Allow more than 3 contexts per profile
Please allow 4, 5, or unlimited contexts in a profile to avoid the need for hacky workarounds.

Battery and charging information
It would be great if the following information could be available in a Task (via variable or "Test Battery" aktion):
-Battery temperature -Current charge/discharge current in mA -currently used charging method ( quick charge / slow charge ) -estimated time until the charging process is completed
-
Kid App Mode for all actions
Is it possible to have a toggle in Tasker to enable a special mode that will allow access to all of Tasker Actions, including ones blocked out due to not supported?
The idea for this is so say I am building a project on my device for another device, but don't have that feature on mine, I can access those options and add said functionality. If it is ran on mine, just silently say it succeeded and resume.
Many thanks!
