Listen to media through your phone's earpiece
Hello João!
Do you think it would be possible to create an action to direct any sound to the earpiece?
Exactly how does this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.Earpiece
Listen to audio books and music through your phone's earpiece when you don't have earphones handy.

Vertical Sliders
Hello, please make it possible to get small vertical sliders in scenes.
Horizontal is no problem but vertical the sliders are very wide.
Thank you very much!

Make the Userguide searchable
It would be nice if tge built in Userguide had a search feature.

Runlog - better identification
I think the information in the Runlog needs a bit of an overhaul.
Specifically, I find the ID column confusing. Maybe I'm just not reading it correctly, but you either have to be absolutely in-tune with the task, which most of us are unless the task is incredibly complex (I have a whole bunch like that), or you have to recognize what the message is trying to tell you.
What I'd like to see is the ID reflect the number of concurrent tasks with that name, and then the step number it's executing. Format like this:
Master Task Instance # :
-
Action number variable
Add another built-in variable for the current action number, %action, which could be used in user constructed error messages.
-
Allow renaming variables to be as convenient as renaming tasks.
As development progresses, refactoring, especially through renaming tasks and variables, becomes important. When a task is renamed, Tasker does what it can to rename all references to that task. It would be really helpful if the same happened for variables.

add "export" in task edit screen menu
The "export" menu item is only available in Task panel following a long press on a task name.
I think it would be usefil to have having it in task edit screen too, like this:

Let plugins SET Global Variables
I know long ago there was a brief time where this was possible, but Pent changed the 'rules' because of a supposed 'security' issue.
Is it possible to now solve this security issue? To make a more secure/safe connection between the plugin and Tasker to let set Global variables.
It could even be an option that plugin devs and/or the user have to click something to agree to.
Case in point, let's say you want to set 6 Globals at once. If they were local variables - AutoTools "Text" could handle it in one Action if it could set Globals.

"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
