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

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- "MQTT Client" by Webneurons is no longer maintained and it contains a google ad tracker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.

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.

Action Lock Feature - Within Task
The ability to lock down any actions within a task you want so that it can't be deleted while it's locked. This is useful for creating tasks and basically using lock to save actions or sequences that are finished while still working on other portions of the task. Would also make deleting everything except the actions you want to keep much easier and prevent accidental deletion.

Private DNS - select mode
Allow selecting private DNS mode (off, automatic, or private DNS provider hostname).
I use adguard-dns.com private DNS to block most ads on my Pixel 6. However, some networks (e.g. BJ's wholesale club) block access to this DNS provider (or sometimes even Android's automatic private DNS) and only work if I temporarily turn off Private DNS while connected to that network and later turn it back on when I leave.
I'd like to setup a profile that automatically turns off Private DNS when connected to specific networks that have this issue and turn it back on (with the already configured DNS

Granular control over factory kids app creation
I want to be able to try different things with the kids factory apps. For some reason when I make one and run the app on my Oculus Go, for example, the Android VR headset, the application will not run within the Oculus TV Android launcher like all other 2D Android apps I sideload onto the device but rather instead it displays itself over the entire display thereby breaking the use of it in VR on that headset. All other 2D Android applications work as expected, that is, that launch within the built in 2D Android app launcher which is

Lock action fullscreen should be overlay + blocking hiding notification bar and buttons
The lock action is a pretty useful feature for "locking" your phone while still allowing unattended remote access when needed, since bypass the real lockscreen is a lot harder.
The problem is that the lock action still shows the notification bar ( allowing people to read notifications ) and the buttons.
It would be nice if the lock action ( when full screen is selected ) completely block everything ( including notification bar and buttons ) while waiting for the password.

Black screen on lock device
On new android version long press volume button doesn't work with screen off. I think it could be bypassed by black screen after device locked like always on display function. Could you think about this function. Long press volume button is very useful function as for me.

Add option to set separator for CSV structure
Currently, Tasker can only extract data from a CSV structure if a comma is used as a separator. But many CSV files use different separators due to the fact that the data itself can contain commas. So it would be nice to be able to choose a custom separator, as is already possible in most array-related actions.
