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

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.

It would be nice to be able to position/scroll a menu element at/to a certain point based on the row index. Thanks in advance ☺️ 

Hi,

Besides join ability to send a URL to another de ices browser, what about triggering  an extensión on that browser (like a web Clipper?).

That would be awesome

For example:

INSERT INTO X (A,B,C) VALUES(?,?,?);

%a, %b, %c

instead of:

Change ' to '' where needed in input vars

INSERT INTO X (A,B,C) VALUES('%a', '%b', '%c');

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?

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?

This would allow tasks run from home screen to have priority over anything in the background. A dynamic starting priority would be huge for other reasons as well. It could default to 7 as currently operating, but be changed as needed.

Goal: WaituntilTime TIME set in context (like implemented WaitUntil) is reached OR Condition is met

The actual implemented WaitUntil waits forever until condition is met. That produces "hanging tasks". It continues to wait even if the task was stopped by STOP task... It also confused me the first time, as I thought the time that can be set is the max. time it waits (even if condition is not met). But it is the cycle time for checking the condition.

It would be very useful for me to have a way how to force s HTTP request to be routed using the WiFi connection. Especially when the system is using mobile data and I join a WiFi network which requires login in captive portal. I have a task which does this, but when i have my cellular data active this request is just sent using the LTE connection.

Alternatively there could be some option to handle Sign-In portals, but that seems to be even more work.

Add background color and text color options to dialogs for a touch of customization, useful if you are creating an app or scenes with specific colors that identify the design.

Any chance to add a variable that can fetch daily screen on time (not from last full charge) would be great.

The default behaviour of notification actions (the buttons on a notification) for most apps is that they do something as well as dismiss that notification.

In tasker you can only assign a single action to a notification action button. For more complex actions you have to point to a task.

It would be great if a checkmark can be added to the notification action to also dismiss the notification when it's clicked. That would make this behavior a lot easier to program in tasker.

When we rename tasks or profiles, the actions which call them are updated automatically.

But if we change a label text, there may have been a GOTO action referencing it. This won't be updated, and then the GOTO is broken because it points to nowhere.

I recently started using tasker and now I am sort off addicted to it. One feature which I would and many others would love is an auto save feature which autosaves the tasks whenever a change occurs. Sometimes I quit unknowingly and lose all of my progress. Thank You  

I'd like to be able to have an optional parameter filled with a variable name and still be able to use it as if it had not been filled at all. For example, the "Default" field of the "Variable Query" action. When left blank, the dialog has nothing filled in, but if I put a variable there, regardless of what the variable contains, the dialog will always have something filled in. The best I can do is have the variable set to just a space, but then it's highlighted and if the user taps the edit field before typing the

Can you please add blur and dim feature to image?

Idea: Make JSONPath syntax available in tasker.

Currently JSON query syntax in tasker does not support the JSONPath standard (currently in proposed status) as described in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9535.html and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSONPath

In particular arrays are awkward to deal with, especially for more complicated structures (arrays in objects in arrays... etc.)

It's possible to work around this at the expense of additional tasker actions, or by using Javascript(Let) but it would be preferable if the standard was provided for.

Some examples which don't work well are: %my_var(N)            Nth element of unnamed array. Have to use the rather ugly

Hello,

In tasker app there is no decimal

Please include decimal number in "Task"  variables "Variable add > Value"

1. I can not add decimal number like 0.5 or 0.3 or 0.003, I suggest to inlude three to four zero after points = 0.0001, hence can use it
