Allow named object variables and allow actions with multiple variables to be saved as object properties
I often wish I could create objects instead of grouping variables by naming convention. It can get messy if you have 2 or more of the same types of objects to track. If named objects could be implemented, it would be possible to store multiple values to a single variable name and constrain usable properties to the object's structure. The structure would help 'group' properties for variables of a similar type.
In terms of integration, it would be great to have the option and flexibility with actions that output multiple variables. A good use case is creating a profile for

Create defaults for flashes, notifications, etc
IT would be great to save default settings for things I use a lot, like flashes, notifications, Say and Beeps, etc.

[ Record Vídeo ] - Add action to start record vídeo
So far Tasker doesn't have a way to start video recording, I don't know if it could be because of a Google play privacy policy, but I remember that there are other automation apps with this option

[ Perform Task ] - Most user frendly
Could make a way to use parameters that can be renamed according to the task maybe using the properties variables or even add a comment so that if other users are going to run the same task it already comes with a custom description when executed

Custom location radius and shape, combining conditions, adding some events
Custom location radius and shape:
Some local areas like schools are not exactly 100m or 200m in size, nor are they perfectly circle, so I would like to see a feature to define custom radii when editing the location condition and a feature to create a custom shaped location, defined by 3 or more coordinates. This is because I don't want to turn on some profile when walking past my school.
Combining conditions:
Writing the first part, I realise that there is no feature to combine conditions like location and state, or time and event. This would be a quality

Allow user to log local variable names and their values, then view them on list dialog.
Suggested feature.
- Log Variable Names, Their Values, and at which actions their values changed.
- Prioritize showing mentioned variables over generated variables. (Like in variable select list.)
- Bring user additional dialog to manipulate selected entry.
- Copy variable
- Copy values
- Bring to action where selected variable's value changed
Something like this.
Reason
- It's a unnecessarily recursive & stressful work to know variable values by flashing them one by one.
- It's frustratingly hard to find where the variables change for longer action lines, especially those who generated a bunch of variables.
Benefit
- Inspecting variables becomes easier & convenient.
Hopefully this could be implemented somehow.

Action/Shortcut to open the Running Tasks and Active Profile Monitor directly
Would be cool if we had a way to open the Running Tasks and Active Profile Monitor directly via shortcut or an action. So we can open them directly from a notification for example.
Could be done via a new "Show Monitoring" action with option to choose between tasks, profiles and runlog. The "Show Runlog" action could be integrated in the "Show Monitoring" action.

Feature request: an option to turn off the display *with* fade-out ?
In the "help" text for the display Turn Off action, we have the following text: "On some devices it takes about 3 seconds for it to really turn off, on others it might take around 10 seconds. Either way, a fully black screen will be shown while the screen doesn't really turn off." Could we have a new option for the Turn Off action which would allow the display to fade out without it being covered by the black screen? Sometimes, this fade-out behavior is desirable when the display is being turned off. Thank you very much

Real Beacon Support (not via inappropriate BT Near)
Beacons are so different from Classic Bluetooth devices they need their own tools. Although the name is the same (Bluetooth), both the operation and the usage are completely different. First the theory, then some specifics--
Theory -In addition to being BLE devices, Beacons are a] off (not advertising) for several seconds at a time, b] have use cases that need to distinguish "nearness" as close as a few feet, c] have use cases that require responding in just a few seconds -even when off, and d] broadcast a _very_ faint signal to minimize power use (which means something as innocuous

Planned
Add Keyguard Lock State Listener (API Level 33; Android 13)
New In Android 13:
KeyguardManager | Android Developers
Please add support for the new KeyguardLockedStateListener class so that, in addition to the, "Display Unlocked" we may also have, "Display Locked." From a security hardening perspective, this is an essential feature.
This allows for features like putting the device into a paranoid-level of security so that -- in the case of a malicious actor -- if someone uses known-exploits (via USB) to remove a user's secured lockscreen while the device is on and logged into, Tasker can protect the user. This, combined with amazing features like an "Overlay+/Allow Outside of Boundaries"

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.

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!

Add "Priority conversations" to "Allow SMS Senders" in Do Not Disturb Action (Mode: custom settings)
In the tasker Do Not Disturb action (Mode: custom settings), as "Allow SMS Senders", I see 4 options: - Any - Contacts - Starred - None
But ... in the corresponding systems settings (Android 14) there is also another (new ?) option: - Priority conversations
Is possible to activate it from tasker ?

Choose icon directly from an icon pack
Hi, I might be late to the game for this RC version.
I am wondering if you will add the ability to access icon pack directly? Since there is a new feature to add Task to launcher, we need to choose an icon.
For now, we can only choose the application icon, but if we can choose the icon from an icon pack directly, we have more option.
For example, I have a task to automate Google Maps direction. If I use the original application icon and put them side by side, it will be quite confusing because of the

dhizuku integration for added permissions (device owner) on non rooted phones
How about an integration of the Dhizuku API to grant tasker device owner permissions for phones that cannot be rooted at this time?
https://github.com/iamr0s/Dhizuku
Maybe as an additional checkbox next to the use root checkbox if the app is detected on the device and the permissions to use the app are granted to Tasker?

Progress Dialog Self Destroy
Right now when a task get stopped by an error, the progress dialog started by the task will continue to show.
So adding a feature like, 'Destroy when the task fails/stops' will help to recognize that the task failed when not running from UI.

Inject apps into the "Full Screen Apps" section in the Display options
If the "Full screen apps' in the the display options is there that mean full immersive mode is supported, is it possible to "Inject any(all) apps into this list using Tasker?
For me full immersive mode is the "The Holy Grail".
keep up the awesome work!!!!

Feature Request: Allow more actions to use Variables
We need the ability to allow more of the Tasker actions to use more variables like Torch, Beep, ect....
For example:
- Using a variable to turn on the Torch using True or False
- Variables for Beep to input the parameters like Duration and Frequency
I believe having alot more Actions to optionally use Variables would allow users have ALOT more fine control with their scripts/tasks
