"System / Send Intent" action should support list-valued EXTRAs
I want to launch an app (http://kaljurand.github.io/K6nele/) that supports list-valued EXTRAs via Tasker, but Tasker's "System / Send Intent" does not seem to support such EXTRAs. This is what is supported according to http://tasker.dinglisch.net/userguide/en/intents.html
If the value can be parsed as an integer, long (integer ending in L), floating point number, double (float ending in D) or boolean (true/false) it will be treated as one. The value can also be forced to a simple type (long etc) or Uri via casting. The name of a Java object created via the Java Function action which is of type Parcelable can also be used (e.g. a Bundle) If

"System / Send Intent" action should support more than 3 EXTRAs
I want to launch an app (http://kaljurand.github.io/K6nele/) that supports lots of EXTRAs via Tasker, but Tasker's "System / Send Intent" only supports 3 EXTRAs. Maybe this is just a UI limitation, but even then it is a limitation, for which I don't know a good workaround.

Expand HTML features in scene text elements
Currently the "Text" elements in the scene creator allow for the field to be set to "HTML" instead of "Plain Text". This currently allows for adjustments of the text like size/colour/bold etc, programmed directly into the text field with HTML code. however, this is very basic HTML support and would like to expand the option to include CSS styles so that text can be altered further, for instance the below doesn't currently work in the text field.
<p style="text-transform: capitalize;">%DEVMAN</p>
Where %DEVMAN = device manufacturer. Since this is a global variable I don't want to have to create another variable

Event profile to receive callback from user's response in activities and permission dialogs.
Ability to receive the response from a user when prompted with a dialog called by Tasker's Java function action.
Useful for getting user to accept kid app permissions at runtime and many more!

Add a toggle to animate the opening of Activities via Send Intent
My basic android developer skills (followed a course in college) tell me you can add a animation when starting an activity (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2651360/how-to-provide-animation-when-calling-another-activity-in-android).
Currently the activity pops into existence, which is fine for when you want to automate something in said activity. But one of the ways I use tasker is for (re-)adding shortcuts that OEMs sometimes remove (like the Google In-App search). I'd like to get as close to the indented experience and an animation would be nice.

Task icons shall change based on variables so the toggles I set in the quick settings menu and widgets tell the status of said task. (ex. Sound icon to vibrate icon based on whether my sound variables is 1 or 0 respectively) Developer
Use cases:
I create a sound toggle task that turns sound on and off. Before running the task I always check a sound variable to check if the sound is on or off before running the appropriate task. The icon should show a 🔊 when the sound variable is true and should show a mute icon when the variable is false.
Music: play icon when music is paused, pause icon when music is playing
Etc

Allow other characters for entry for Position for Array Push and Array Pop
Arrays can be used as queues if `%array_name(#)` can be used in the Position field. I know a very large integer can be used but `%array_name(#)` conveys intention much better.

Allow profiles with no associated tasks.
Doing so would allow conditions to be named for easy use only for Profile Active State triggers.
The current workaround it's to have such profiles associated with a "No Op" task.

Polylines in maps
It would be nice to be able to create polylines in map scenes by simply providing an array of GPS coordinates.

Hope to support zip file with password
some times we may need to protect some new files automaticlly, and zip with code is a easy and dependable way to do that, hope the developer could consider it.

Fingerprint sensor event
Add a fingerprint event so Tasker can respond to fingerprint scanner from any screen.
This will enable things like turning off screen with fingerprint sensor, as well as execute any task with a touch of finger.
Better have options to respond only to registered finger, as well as gestures (fingerprint swipt down... Etc.)

A share community easy to use like Workflow
A use-to-use share community is helpful to guide the newcomers and maintain the vitality of the APP.
However, it is inconvenient when you want to share your useful profile to others. Here are some common ways I saw on the internet:
1. Record a video to tell others how to set a profile. I think this would hold back most people who just want to share their thoughts.
2. Write down all the setting steps like this one: https://forums.androidcentral.com/android-apps/301540-tasker-lets-contribute-profiles.html
3. Export profile and import profile.
I think Workflow on iOS has done a good job. as attached file. Click the button

A send email action could help a lot with integration with other apps and services.
One use for this would be to parse text messages or notifications for dates and times, then email the message body to a task manager app (Todoist or TickTick) so they'll automatically be added to your schedule.
With this you could use Tasker to get total integration between a task manager app, email, calendar app, and your phone.
I know there are some plug-ins for this, but I think it would be a very useful feature for Tasker to have natively.

Allow fork and join of tasks
It's sometimes useful to be able to perform multiple tasks simultaneously (eg one task may be updating some state in the background).
For example, a Scene may be taking input for some duration and updating an expiry widget based on the duration input and the current time. But the time itself can be changing, too; it would be nice if the expiry widget can be updated when the current time changes.

Variables to enable/disable Tasker password on startup
Since João's new update, I have been able to successfully disable the Tasker password when at home and have it enabled when I leave home.
In Tasker preferences, make sure Lock on Startup is checked.
In a task, choose + then Tasker | Set Tasker Pref. In drop-down list, choose Lock Code.
Type in the code for when this option is enabled.
Delete the value so it's Unset for when you want it disabled.
An extra variable is needed so Lock on Startup can be enabled or disabled. At the moment, if you keep this option enabled, then run the

Add a switch statement to be used in place of if else/elseif
Please add a switch statement that could be used in place of if-else -else if. If you wish to check for a few conditions a switch statement would be easier to code and read instead of the multiple nested if-else if statements.

Network Access allows variable/array
For the Network Access action, instead of picking apps from a list, would be nice if one can use a variable/array to specify the app(s). This way, we can allow or deny different apps based on conditions.

Make actions requiring root or write secure settings easier to identify
It would be nice if it was easier to differentiate actions that require root are write secure settings permission. Making each of these actions a different colour would help with this.
