Dynamically Rearrange Actions
Action to rearrange/move other actions inside a task by number or label.
Example: Move Action #5 to last place, first place or to number 10...

Open file with default app just like browse url action
There is no option to choose default app for OPEN FILE action.
There should be option like BROWSE URL action have.

Default on tap for NOTIFY action
Currently when a notification is created there is no default on tap functionality.
We have to create another profile as NOTIFICATION CLICKED event and configure.
We should be directly able to configure on NOTIFICATION CLICK functionality in the NOTIFY action itself.
It will be great addition to tasker imo.

Be able to show picture as not tinted for Progress Dialog
Currently, the Progress Dialog action, when configured to show an animation, it applies a tint to the configured picture, as shown below:
I would like to be able to choose not to tint the picture(s), and instead show them with their original color scheme, as shown below:
By this way, we can use our own set of icons to create a much more customized animation for the loader image.

Show a portion of comment section in profile and task tab.
Preferably the first paragraph of the comment section (rather than limited characters), displayed under their name and this option should be accessible a toggle.
This way, user could leave a brief description of their tasks and profiles and read them right away.

Something like a try-catch block
When writing code for a task, it would be useful to be able to implement something like a try-catch block, similar to this ... try action-1 action-2 action-3 ... more actions and logic ... catch action-a action-b action-c ... perform these actions and logic if any of the actions in the "try" block fail; otherwise, skip this "catch" block if all of the "try" actions succeed ... end-try-catch
It doesn't necessarily have to be this exact try/catch syntax, but whatever the exact syntax, similar functionality would be useful and

Bypass lockscreen restrictions using Google Assistant from lockscreen
Infuriatingly, Google restricted its own Google Assistant's functionality from lockscreens, with the assistant now frequently replying "You'll need to unlock your phone for that" ...even for things as simple as asking Google for directions/navigation!
If someone had the smarts to figure out a way to utilize Tasker (with ADB) to bypass these limitations, that would be PHENOMENAL.
Perhaps Tasker/ADB could trick the assistant to thinking the screen is still unlocked?

intent specify path
I propose extending Tasker's "Intent" feature to not only react to URL schemes but also to allow users to edit the "android:path" component of the URL. Specifically, I would like to have the ability to trigger Tasker tasks when clicking on a link that leads to a URL like "https://www.mywebsite.com/customcommand," where the "android:path" component would be "www.mywebsite.com/customcommand."
Use Case: The primary use case for this feature enhancement is to enable Tasker to execute tasks on my Android device without actually opening the corresponding website. For example, if I click on a link that directs to "https://www.mywebsite.com/customcommand," Tasker would recognize the

Label collapsible
An anchor (label) action that works like the "If-End if" action to easily identify what the next 3-5 actions are about within a task.

Authentication Dialog - Credentials Only Auth
In API 30+ it is now possible to have the BiometricPrompt.Builder (used by the Authentication dialog) require only credentials. In the US, the government may compel the owner of a phone to unlock it using their fingerprint since the government views a fingerprint as "public record" versus where a password is not. Besides, a person who is sleeping can have their fingerprints used against them while unconcious.
As such, I feel that the Authentication dialog should allow the user of Tasker to specify that it should only ask for the device's password without prompting at all for biometrics.
This is

Native MQTT support
MQTT would be the most logical way of Tasker to integrate to a home automation or vehicle.
Current 3rd party plugins have various problems:
- "Join" requires Google Play framework
- "MQTT Client" by Webneurons is no longer maintained and it contains a google ad tracker
- "Node Red integration" requires Node Red, and feels unnecessary
For me, native MQTT support would be the most important feature of Tasker. If I'm not alone here, I'd be happy to take part (via Patreon) in covering the expenses of developing the native support.

Expose help section to the user.
Help section is being shy hiding himself behind the triple dot menu.
IMHO, Tasker should have promoted him more to the user by actively presenting him in the upper layer.
I think placing him right next to the resect button will make the user notice him more.
Or maybe Tasker could introduce a new way to call him for certain action. E.g long pressing the action in action list menu.
The former should be sufficient though. Thank you!

Track the date/time a task is run
It would be very useful to retain and display the most recent run time for each task.
I would be of great assistance in troubleshooting (ie - did the task really run or not)
Also it would be useful in keeping things clean and deleting task that are no longer used.

Fullscreen / Resize Scenes
As a user of Tasker, I need the way to be able to ensure that a scene is, and remains, a certain size, even after the scene has been edited through the Tasker Scene Editor UI. Often it is needed for the scene to be fullscreen and that any actions that alter the screen size/orientation cause the scene to be resized to fill the new screen size.
Sometimes, it is nice to be able to resize a scene programmatically to a specific size (not necessarily fullscreen) from a Task's or Scene's actions for a variety of reasons. An option in Create

Set, Detect, and Avoid Mock Locations
(this is technically a duplicate of https://tasker.helprace.com/i1124-mock-up-on-tasker but the title of that post is misleading, at best. It also doesn't have very detailed requirements or a user story. So, here is a better one:)
As a user of Tasker, I need the ability to be able to set my system's location via the Developer Option's Mock Location App feature so I can ask Tasker to set a fake GPS location for the rest of the system.
I also need the ability for Tasker to "see past" that fake location so that profile conditions that use Location-driven conditions still work as

Wireless Debugging Port
Hi
Can you add an action say "Get Wireless Debugging Port"? This action will do following.
1) Enable Wireless Debugging using custom setting if not enabled
2) Use NsdManager to get Wireless Debugging Port which can be used for enabling Wireless Debugging.

add search to autotools dialog list
It would be great if AutoTools dialog list had an option to turn on a search field to find a specific entry on the display list.

Create Notification from JSON (AutoNotification)
Ideally, creating notifications would be possible from JSON inputs. You provide the necessary fields and it would create the AutoNotification with the properties. I assume this to be not too far away from how it works today. But it would help massively in re-using parts.

Lock cerain plugins and task actions
When I lock Tasker, it appropriately locks some task actions like “Disable Tasker”. I was wondering if you can allow the options of adding other actions to the list of not allowed when locked. For example, I want to lock access to “SecureTasks” plugin actions while Tasker has an active lock, because that plugin has full access to my phone.

Folders for tasks within a project
Hello, I have a project that has enough tasks I had to break it into 2 different projects to be able to use the UI properly. There are 29 tasks for the project and as soon as the list of tasks goes over 17 on my phone screen, the ui starts getting janky and it becomes difficult to move and rename any of the tasks in the project. This made me realize that having folders that behave like the collapsable If or For actions would alleviate my issue, while also making organization within a project better. Cheers.
