    Action Lock Feature - Within Task

    Kyle Tameirao · 0 · Posted

    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

    Steve Rothkin · 2 · Last reply by Steve Rothkin

    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

    Peter Gomberg · 0 · Posted

    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

    salas · 1 · Last reply by Nick Betcher

    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

    Lilly t · 0 · Posted

    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

    Konstantin Lisnyak · 0 · Posted
    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.

    Add "Split Array" action

    Konstantin Lisnyak · 0 · Posted
    It would be very useful to have a "Split Array" action in addition to the existing "Join Arrays" action. This would greatly simplify the handling of arrays with multiple data fields, For example, if the user needs to sort by a field or remove duplicates.

    get Time from NTP Server

    Skyhigh24 · 0 · Posted

    Add an Option to get the Time from a User-Definable NTP Server.  Could be a nice Feature for automating work of Server Admins. (small buissness) Example: 1. get time from Web-NTP like time.google.com,  store in Variable

    2. get time from Local Servers,  store in Variable

    3. calculate difference of Variables

    4. if difference is to high, resync/restart local server i could use such feature since this is a very repetetive part of my work and id love to do it automated with my phone. Found no other way to do that

    Notification click event in Notify action

    Anuraag Agrawal · 0 · Posted

    Add Notification Click event inside Notify action. Sometimes a single profile is enough but due to lack of Notification Click event inside Notify action we need to create another profile with Notification Click event.

    Rename a task from within

    petrus · 0 · Posted

    I was wondering if we could edit the task name from within the task, by tapping on the up horizontal bar where it says "Task Edit" and <task name>? That way you wouldn't have to long tap to edit, and you could also do it from the Profile tabs, don't need to go to the Tasks tab.

    invert selection

    netbird · 0 · Posted

    While choosing several actions within a task, I'd love to see the ability to invert the selection so all other actions are now chosen. It can be very useful when you wish to temporarily shut off all other actions and rerun only a few, or for moving many actions to another task but not all.

    battery drain

    netbird · 0 · Posted

    Is it possible that Tasker will present a list of profiles and tasks sorted by their energy consumption in the past 24H or 7 days? In addition, is it possible to add an action that will present the energy consumption at the end of a task?

    Access Tasker environment functions from actions

    Joe Cornelius · 0 · Posted

    It would be extraordinarily helpful if Tasker provided actions that let us use some or all of the same underlying Tasker management functions that the Tasker environment and Task Editor use.

    Here are some examples of what I'm asking for:

    An action that returns a tasks's cdate and/or edate.  It could accept the taskname as a parameter.

    An action that recognized which task(s) is/are highlighted in a project's Task view would work well with the requested cdate/edate action.  (And a similar action that recognizes selected actions while I'm in the Task Editor.)

    An action that works in the Task Editor

    Add a search feature when adding a task to a profile

    It would be really helpful if we could search by task name when adding a task to a profile. My list of tasks is really long and scrolling takes a long time.

    Add an %item_index variable to each item in a scene's menu, enabling unique images for each list item in a menu

    thomas · 0 · Posted

    Currently in scene menus (those are the lists), every item in the list reuses the same image. The only way to give each item a unique thumbnail image is if it's manually input. For variable input, it's impossible.

     

    This variable would enable variable-populated menus to have unique images for each item.  For example, if your list contains a list of image files within a folder, you'd be able to display a thumbnail of each image in its entry in the list.  And if you were displaying a list of songs, you could show a thumbnail for each song.

    UI: Wrap Task Names

    J.Carver · 0 · Posted

    If your task has a name. It will only display it on one single line. Even though it's the only task triggered by the profile. 

    This request is to add a functionality that checks if it is the only task being triggered, and allows the Task Name to display properly. 

    Ideally it would allow the task name to have as much space to display as the triggers have.

    Set Wallpaper functionality request to Fit to Screen

    I'd like to have the option to just have the image fit to the screen. Right now the only options are to crop the image and scale which doesn't function the way I'd like.
