    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.

    Folders for tasks within a project

    Drasiel · 0 · Posted

    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.

    Set, Detect, and Avoid Mock Locations

    Nick Betcher · 0 · Posted

    (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

    Fullscreen / Resize Scenes

    Nick Betcher · 0 · Posted

    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

    Something like a try-catch block

    HippoMan · 0 · Posted

    When writing code for a task, it would be useful to be able to implement something like a try-catch block, similar to this ... try   action-1   action-2   action-3   ... more actions and logic ... catch    action-a    action-b    action-c    ... perform these actions and logic if    any of the actions in the "try" block fail;    otherwise, skip this "catch" block if all    of the "try" actions succeed ... end-try-catch

    It doesn't necessarily have to be this exact try/catch syntax, but whatever the exact syntax, similar functionality would be useful and

    Default on tap for NOTIFY action

    WhirlWolf · 0 · Posted

    Currently when a notification is created there is no default on tap functionality.

    We have to create another profile as NOTIFICATION CLICKED event and configure.

    We should be directly able to configure on NOTIFICATION CLICK functionality in the NOTIFY action itself.

    It will be great addition to tasker imo.

    Suggestion for the new Copy/Paste conditions option across actions

    SmartPhoneLover · 0 · Posted

    Suggestion (1)

    I think placing the Copy & Paste options under the Conditions section would be better, than having to open the top menu.

    I mean, instead of placing the correspondign options in the top menu, allow Tasker to show/hide the Copy/Paste buttons in the Conditions section if the user copies (and wanted to paste) conditions from an action. So, by default if no conditions are copied from any task, the buttons (copy) could remain hidden, and only appear (paste) when Tasker detects that some conditions have been copied.

    • Copy button: always visible.
    • Paste button: only appears when the user

    Copy Move Paste a single condition line from IF or other condition Blocks

    269red · 0 · Posted

    The Condition features are a great idea !!!   But what I miss most, is the possibilty to move, copy, paste a single condition statement within the IF of an action and to copy a single conditon statement to another action. In the example below, I would like to Move, Copy, Paste a single line like %WifiCMD ~ auto withthin the Condition block or to other Actions or IF statements !   Action Edit Condition %BatLow SET OR %WifiCMD ~ auto AND %Usr !SET

    Action to enable & disable projects

    urkindagood · 0 · Posted

    Title says.

    Expected behaviour for disabled project.

    1. The profiles status remains unchanged.
    2. The profiles stop monitoring their assigned contexts, so they won't trigger the tasks they are tied with as if they are disabled.
    3. The tasks and scenes are still useable by other projects.

    I think It may be better to put the 3rd point under the action that toggles the project so user could have more control over their behaviour.

    Some additional actions or variables may be needed to query their status, and retrieve the project list.

    Non-Unique Task, Profile, and Scene Names

    Proposal:

    Allow multiple tasks, scenes, and profiles to have the same name so long as they're in different projects. You can have the default be to check the current project so you don't break people's stuff and you can make it so that if there's only one task with said name, it'll use that one to further the not breaking of stuff.

    Examples:

    1) Project "Main" has a task named "Get Project Name" which returns "Main" while the project "Chrome" also has one which returns "Chrome". You could access Main's task thusly, "Main(Get Project Name)" and if the calling task

    Toggle location for profile when needed

    Perppel · 1 · Last reply by Perppel

    On Android 8 and later location is needed for certain actions in tasker.

    For example profile with state WiFi Near cannot be run if location is set to off on device.

    Tasker can change location setting between off/device only/battery saving/high accuracy.

    As far as I know there really is no way (since profiles cannot be run manually) to create task that enables location for that brief moment some profile requiring it to work needs it.

    Suggestion:

    Add option to profile preferences to set desired location mode for profiles that need location to be enabled. This way the profile itself would

    Run task once given time of day

    Ball · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have a task that I only want to run once after setting a time of day. In other words, when (manually) triggered, it would prompt the user for a time of day then run the task once. I see no way of doing this presently and editing a task every time is highly cumbersome given I'd have to do that every time.

    Export description to variable

    Robert L Ryan · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I currently send all exported descriptions to a text editor via the clipboard. This helps with debugging and allows me to give them a final review before posting.

    The issue is that this overwrites the current value of the clipboard. 

    Could we add a way to export to a variable?

    Notification timeout

    Daniel Dakhno · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    When sending notifications to android, it allows to set a timeout, after which the notification disappears automatically.

    Could tasker also support this feature when using the notifiy action?
