Two ideas for the "List dialogue" action
1) Implement an easier way to add, remove, and organize things added to the list as an alternative to listing them all on one line followed by commas. A system that is similar to the menu element for scenes. Maybe even add the option to place icons next to each item in the list if the user so chooses. And to that end, maybe even add an indexing option that numbers all the things in the list to sort from in the idea below.
2) An optional sort option that can be checked so that when the dialogue is showed,

Option to toggle Tasker's use of metered connections
An option in Tasker settings, that toggles whether Tasker itself can use metered network connections, could be very useful.
So, if the option "Allow Tasker to use metered network connections" is in the off position, Tasker itself will only use non-metered networks.
For instance, I have a profile that uses the 'GD Upload' action every other day to upload a backup file, which is about a gigabyte. Since my mobile data limit for the whole month is 1 gigabyte, if at the time of the upload there is some issue with my wifi connection, the upload will use up my

Extend Tasker App Factory with ability to create app in Leanback TV format.
This should only require a few changes to manifest and an additional 320x180 banner icon.

Add indicator to show active profiles
The current profile list implementation makes the text of active profiles green. While this works with profiles that are named with text, it fails as soon as you use emojis as profile names. I prefer emojis because it shortens the text of the pull-down notification. (João uses the same naming convention.)
The screenshot shows my profile list. There are 4 active profiles. Can you tell which? ;-)
It would be great if active profiles would get another visual indication if they are active: either a green dot in front of the profile text/emoji or a greenish background tint would work

Safer "clear all variables"
The variable clear action has an option for "clear all variables", but no secondary option to clear only local variables. It would be great if ticking "clear all variables" would show another check box for "local variables only". Ideally that should be ticked by default!
Currently it is too easy to accidentally wipe out all of your global variables.
-
Complex custom conditions
Basically, a profile can only have a few state conditions, and the only available logical conjunction between them is AND. I understand why editing anything more complex in that editor field would be difficult. Which is why I'm suggesting a new feature called custom conditions.
These would live on their own tab like variables. When you add a new condition, you'd first have to declare a name for it and then you'd be brought to an editor similar to the task editor.
In the top level of this editor you could add the basic logical conjunctions: AND, OR and XOR.

Tasker's extended functionality during boot
Hi
I tried to create a home screen launcher by a scene and I can tell literally it was far better than any android launcher I've Nova launcher prime which supposed to be the best for customisation but it fell a part in front of the scene capabilites the only issue that let me drop the continuity of the whole thing was the boot time of Tasker the scene won't shows up until tasker receive the boot complete event which really takes long that makes the phone without any icons or launcher.
The request if possible to load some core components

E.g. one element triggers task X on a stroke up and triggers task Y on a stroke down.

[AutoLocation] Add geofence radius to the AutoLocation Info action.
Right now there's not a good way to backup or restore Geofence configurations.
The best I could come up with was setting up a profile to trigger on all geofences (the event context give geofence radius) with an accompanying task that uses Mock Location to trigger the profile which logs all data needed to create a geofence with the AutoLocation Manage action.

HTTP Request support for mTLS
Would it be possibile to add support for mTLS in HTTP Request?
My use case is that the backend I need to connect uses a Cloudflare's rule which allows connections only if a specif Client Certificate is provided and just by using Tasker I can not connect to it.
A workaround I found is to use Termux's plugin but things get more complex, slow and hard to maintain.

Task Action for Manually Checking/Updating Various Monitors (particularly such as Cell Near)
Sometimes a user may want to manually (via a Task Action) check/update a state instead of waiting for the relevant monitor to update it. So this request/idea is to add something like the following:
TaskerFunction CheckNow(CELL_NEAR)
And in the above there'd be a list provided of various things that could be manually checked (such as WIFI_NEAR, etc).
This request is prompted by the following Reddit thread:

Thanks for your consideration! :)

Currently, if we want to react to a branch ending in error, this is necessary:
Is there any reason for the If, Else and End If actions clearing the %err variable? If the %err variable was left alone by these actions, the task could be written more simply:

Animation Effect on Scene
I hope you can add animations to make "show and destroy scene" seem more lively, such as:
•pop-up: provides an attractive effect when used. attracts more user attention to something displayed in the scene.
•fade: as in video cinematography, this can have a dramatic effect. suitable for some situations.
Having a choice of effects on the scene will increase added value to the user experience.
I hope you and the development team can consider the suggestions I gave.
Thank You.

Would be great to have Join app available on the Android TV devices. TV usually always powered on and can be used as a hub to control other home devices remotely.

Check for new update for imported Taskernet projects
I saw there was a post about it already but i thought to give it a try.
https://tasker.helprace.com/i1756-auto-update-feature
I have found out that technically everyone can do it themself by saving the date of the imported project using the api taskernet link and just to compare it with the current date inside the json data.
https://taskernet.com/_ah/api/datashare/v1/shares/$user/$project?a=0
So how about doing something like this but built in within Tasker with every imported project?
I would also recommend having the option to control the check for new update time and excludes projects from the checkup that the user doesn't want to update.
