Prevent Continuous Root Access Prompts
When using Tasker with root access there are continuous root access toast popups.
Magisk is supposed to give root request toasts only when an app is using root but for Tasker I am getting like 25 log entries and alerts in 1 minute for Tasker. This is preventing me to browse magisk logs as they are getting filled by tasker. I am only using root in one task to run a shell command so Tasker shouldn't continuously request root access.
Attaching a screenshot of the sample, if we could have a toggle to prevent background root checks or add a

Auto-destroy scene on dismiss
If I show a scene and check "Continue Task Immediately" it is cumbersome to destroy it manually if the user leaves.
Can we have an Option (e.g. Checkbox) to auto-destroy a scene on dismiss (back button press, home button press, ...) for the "Show Scene" task?

Task setting to force time out
Sometimes, actions do not time out properly and a task could literally end up running indefinitely causing device to heat up. Add an option in task settings to force kill the task after x seconds.

Variable driven scene checkboxes and toggles
In scenes could you please update checkbox and toggles so that their default value can be variable driven? Currently you can only choose of they are on or off instead of setting the state with a variable.

Planned
"Wait Until Command" Action
The command system is incredibly powerful and simple to use, it can be used as a way to simplify various projects and tasks into a single one that takes the command and does stuff based on the command itself.
It is easier than "Run Task" because the syntax is significantly easier. However, the drawback is that if you have one task that triggers a command and another that gets triggered by it, the first one has no way of knowing if the second one finished without problem, as there's no "return variable" option and no way to logically allow it.

Stop parent task (anonymous or named) and Stop all caller tasks
I have two smaller proposals:
1.
it would be useful to add to Stop task possibility of:
- stopping parent task (both anonymous and named)
- stopping all parent caller tasks
currently it can be done by parsing %caller() variable but it is difficult and not possible to obtain task name for anonymous tasks
2.
Possibility to set cooldown times on profiles for both active and inactive states (currently is possible for active state only)
These two things can be useful for situations where for example I need profile with state WiFi connected and need to prevent situations where I'm

Name tag for Tasker licenses
Having more than one Tasker license makes it more difficult to know which license belong to which device. That is why i am suggesting to have the option in https://taskernet.com/?licenses to add a name/Name tag to each license so it would be no brainer to know which one belongs to which device.

Combine Music Play action with Play Ringtone action
How about adding option in the Music Play action to choose an internal ringtone from the ringtones/notifications menu of the device? There is the Play Ringtone action but as you know it can do a lot of harm (less funny) when you get loop of audio playing. I would even suggest to remove it completely and adding all the options to the Music Play action but i know you afraid of breaking stuff for users.

Ask for storage access permission for all relevant tasks and actions after restoring a backup to a different device
I restored the Tasker settings to a second device (same model) I had installed a Custom-ROM on. The backup contained many tasks that need storage access. When one creates such a task manually Tasker requests permission for that access. This does not happen when tasks are restored from a backup. Now each time such a task is triggered by a profile for the first time, Tasker requests storage permission. But the request neither contains the task nor the requested directory. This is very inconvenient and may lead to data loss.
I have two requests:
- Short term: Show the requesting task

[Text/Image Dialog] Add Image Buffer to list of image sources

🐍 Feature Request: Python Interpreter in Tasker
Summary
Add support for running Python code natively inside Tasker tasks, similar to the current Java interpreter, to give users a broader scripting option.
Why This Matters
Ease of Use: Python is widely regarded as simpler and more readable than Java, making it more approachable for beginners while still powerful for advanced users.
Ecosystem Power: With its vast standard library and third-party packages, Python enables advanced automations like data analysis, machine learning, web APIs, and IoT device control directly from Tasker.
Community Adoption: Python has one of the largest developer communities, meaning Tasker could benefit from a huge ecosystem of

connectivity changed event
There is an action "Get Network Info" avilable but i think there is also need of Connectivity Changed / Network Changed event as per
https://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/connectivity-status-type
I know i can use android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE but that itself is desperated and event fires more than 20 times when there is a change.

Action Filtering
Tasker has something of an issue with Actions becoming outdated when new versions are introduced. Widget V2 is a great example of this - for most users it completely removes the existing Widget Actions (`Set Widget Icon`, `Set Widget Label`, etc etc). Obviously those Actions need to be preserved for backwards compatibility & the rare edge-case when they're useful, but that's not a frequent occurrence.
I think it would be helpful to auto-hide a lot of those Actions (or even Action Groups, like `Zoom` or `Matter Home Automation`.
How I envisage this working
When presented with the `Select Action Category`

Add an action to change Taskers language
Sometimes it's useful or necessary to find something in tasker to change the tasker language to English. But for retrieving the correct results for datetime parse actions in correct language tasker needs to use the correct language again, so it's would be handy to have the tasker action to change it's language automatically.

Notify action, perform an action when tapping instead of dismiss
Tapping the notification created with the notify action dismisses it. An option to perform an action instead (as autonotification does) would be helpful and also prevent accidental dismisses.

Show Linked Tasks
I have some projects that have an complex connection of tasks that call other tasks, and sometimes this spans across multiple projects.
So just like you have the "Show Linked Projects" action on each task, I would like a similar action that shows which other tasks are calling the selected task (i.e. tasks that call this task from the "Perform Task" action).
You could call this "Show Linked Tasks". :)
I know this can be done from the search option by entering the name of the task, but this is cumbersome and shows a whole lot of other noise than

As of now only Notification listener and Accessibility service is available. Whereas there are a several others that hasn't been exposed yet.

Dedicated Log View for Individual Tasks or Profiles
Long-press a task or profile → open menu → View Log.
The current Run Log is powerful but becomes hard to read with many automations running. Seeing only that specific task or profile's past runs would make debugging faster, clearer, and more approachable while keeping the global Run Log unchanged.

Config rapide depuis écran verrouillé
J'ai ajouté des actions Tasker sur la configuration rapide de mon smartphone (voir capture), mais lorsque l'écran est verrouillé, il m'est impossible de lancer l'action Tasker : le système m'invite à déverrouiller le mobile pour permettre l'action...
C'est génant quand l'action qu'on veux faire, c'est changer un profil audio...
