    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

    Jason Cooper · 0 · Posted

    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

    Duffin X. Caprous · 0 · Posted

    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.

    Add an option to tap on the display to the Popup Task Buttons action

    Jim Becker · 0 · Posted

    Similar to the Popup action, add the option to tap on the text to the Popup Task Buttons action. It would be great to have a status variable to show how the response to the action, Timeout, Tap or Button.

    Event for lost data connection

    Thomas Larsen Wessel · 0 · Posted

    I need my Android phone to warn me (eg by playing a tune) when it loses internet connectivity. As far as I can tell, such an event has not been defined in Tasker. Am I right? Could you add such an even to the app?

    As far as I can tell, it should not be hard to implement such an event. Source: https://medium.com/@veniamin.vynohradov/monitoring-internet-connection-state-in-android-da7ad915b5e5. 

    One useful scenario - Why I need it:

    I do some basic surveying using SparkFun Surveyor. In order to give very precise results it must connect to the internet to retrieve correction data. This is called RTK/NTRIP. I

    Allow "Stop" Action to Interrupt "Wait"ing Task

    Nick Betcher · 0 · Posted

    In my opinion, despite task priorities and all the other fancy (yet complicating) features/factors, a Stop action should actually stop a task (hey, concept! Haha), regardless of what it is doing. On some levels this may be difficult, but stopping a task that is currently in a Wait really shouldn't be one of those difficult situations, regardless if Tasker is using Android's alarm scheduling system or an internal timer system.

    It's trivial to test:

    - Wait in one task

    - Attempt to Stop it in another during the other task's Wait action time.

    The task is not only not stopped,

    Menu element multiple select customize

    Tyler T · 0 · Posted

    Currently, it seems when a menu elements is in multiple selection mode, when selecting any entry, it highlights said entry in a real thin, blue boarder. 

    Would it be possible to add in a feature to customize the effect of when an entry is selected inside of the menu element? Maybe change the color of the boarder around the selection, the size of the boarder, or maybe even a way to highlight the entire entry in a different color. 

    Depending on the color or the scene/menu elements, can sometimes be hard to see which entry is selected and which isn't.

    Hi I was trying the 'launch app' option and noticed it doesn't support Parallel Apps (common on phones like oneplus, oppo and family) it'd be amazing if you could add support for them :)

    Use Shizuku as background alternative to ADB and/or Root

    Christian WS · 1 · Last reply by Christian WS

    https://github.com/RikkaApps/Shizuku

    The very, very short description of Shizuku is that it is an App that allow other apps to use actions reserved for ADB or Rooted devices.

    Shizuku is on the PlayStore, and the whole procedure is incredibly easy in comparison to Root, and even ADB Wifi.

    And yeah, I know you've implemented ADB Wifi shenanigans, but If the user has Tasker and any of these apps, then they are likely not going to want to do a separate procedure for Tasker. Unlike ADB Wifi and the Permissions App, it also means that tutorials and guides are offloaded to Shizuku
