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

Accidental touches cause profiles to be turned off. Can you provide an option by which users can decide to show a confirmatory box before turning on/off a profile from the home page?

It would be really useful if there was a variable, something like %ACTIVE that could be used in profiles to note when a task is running. It would be the same as using %TRUN !Set, but if possible, set to true and false when tasks run or not so that many profiles don't need to check for the turn state every time it changes.

Would be beneficial for certain scenarios where a user may want to increase or decrease maximum tasks queued at different times without needing to manually do it inside of Tasker. 

Is it possible to add an option to flash and autotools popup to add a border and set a border color around the whole toast? HTML border commands don't appear to work.

Thanks 

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

When using the contact via app action, it asks for the contact name rather then the number. In cases of contacts with multiple numbers, it only uses the first number (i.e. if a contact has two numbers beginning with 7, and the second with 8, it will use the first number). There's no option to change that setting, so I was hoping you could add an option to choose the number.

Tasker currently has state change to detect Headset Plugged, and BT connect/disconnect.

However recent versions of Android (and some apps e.g. Pocket Casts) provide an ability to show/change audio output without connecting/disconnecting e.g. BT device is connected, can change to internal speaker, or with 2 BT devices connected can switch between them.

Therefore I'd like an event/state change to detect when audio output changes - perhaps with 2 associated variables: audio output (i.e. Speaker/BT/Plugged headset) and device name (to allow trigger only for specific audio output e.g. Car).

I currently do this using logcat entries, however this is device/phone specific

I noticed "monitoring > running profiles". That's such a good idea, but it would be better if you could go directly from there to edit which ever profile you tap!

Each element of a scene can be configured independent tasks according to the user's interaction with that element but that cannot be executed outside of that interface, exporting the scene I find that each action of those elements has a unique id (task####), so I wondered if this would be possible to add in some update, it is practical and necessary.

Thank you!

Actions that do not have a permission should request it before executing or at least have the option to enable or disable the request and not just show an error in notifications.

Thanks 👍 

I want to be able to add the most recent episode of a podcast that I like to a Spotify playlist just like how you add tracks. I mainly thought of this idea after listening to the Daily Drive playlist on Spotify and hating the news sources that they would use.

Another day, another feature taken away by Google (seriously, what have they been up to lately?).

As you're all well aware by now, Android 14 made "permanent" notifications dismissible now, breaking many apps along the way – including our dear Tasker, most notably. I've been missing the old notification's functionality ever since the update but apparently there's a rather easy fix for this,  at least in theory.

We can somewhat bring back most of the old functionality back by automatically showing any permanent Tasker notifications as soon as they're dismissed. This is probably easier said than done as every Tasker

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?

Currently the options available to play music in Tasker include: 

1. Music Play 2. Music Play Dir 3. Music Skip 4. Music Stop 5. Music Back

I request the addition of

1. Music Pause/Play (to pause and then continue the currently playing file) 2. A way to skip to the next song / go back songs (the current skip feature can accomplish this by jumping forward like 5 minutes but there is no way to go back to the start or to previous songs) 3. A way to select the Stream in Music Play Dir.  Currently only Music Play has

Can you provide a feature to hide project/profiles or passwore-lock project/profiles for habits control and for parental control?

Hope to support, hope to support App Bao or Huawei Store, um, and other internal Chinese mainland.The application store can pay in the store in this way, and the current payment method is more troublesome.

China usually pays by WeChat or Alipay.

Current behavior is to error out and display nothing. This makes it difficult to use a list dialog for user populated global arrays if no items were entered yet. Id like to use the list dialog buttons to begin the creation of an item within the array and for that I need the list to launch similar to a text dialog with an empty list until an item is added to array. 

If tasker can natively fetch fitness data from Health Connect it would be great. There is an existing tasker plugin that does the job (GitHub - RafhaanShah/TaskerHealthConnect: Android Health Connect Plugin for Tasker). But it would be great if this can be included in Tasker. The plugin can fetch data for specified number of days and out put as json string. something similar would be nice.

I suggest AI for Tasker and will be called Tasker Intelligence to do some action quickly. Any AI can't take action on any device and is limited. But Tasker with AI can do more action easily. I hope you all like this.
