As reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/wj17wy/perform_task_return_not_overwriting_task_variable/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

"Problem: A "Perform Task" return value does not write directly into a task variable, it should absolutely be able to, IMO. Or is it intended for some reason? I would guess it is the same for project/profile variables. 

So currently I have to name the return %somename, then var set %taskvar=%somename.

Note that the "overwrite" and "replace on passthrough" are unrelated here, we're not talking about variable passthrough, but function call/return."

On my Fairphone 4, Android 11, I ran into the known issue with Sound Mode -> Mute that you reported to Google in https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/205205662 (you can add the Fairphone 4 to the list of affected phones). I furthermore noticed that this old workaround on Reddit reliably sets the phone to Silent on my device:

1. Set DND Mode "No interruptions"
2. (Immediately) set DND Mode "Priority"
3. Wait 50 ms
4. Set DND Mode "Allow All"

Not sure if it works on the other phones, but I found it worth mentioning.

Task "Display Turn Off", when is launced from Quick Panel or shortcut, shows Tasker Action Error java.lang.InterruptedException (Error Code: 1) and display turned off. When it's launched from Tasker, it's OK.

I've been using Tasker on this device for a couple years. I purchased it many years ago and installed it via Aurora Store. Now, this device is EOL and I'm trying to migrate my Tasker profiles to a new phone. However, suddenly tasker won't run because my "trial" has expired. This is aggravating because I just want to export my profiles.

Thanks.

I have a Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G (not rooted). Previously on Android 12. Just upgraded to Android 13, on any tasks to launch apps, I get the error "Launch App: failed to launch com.sec.android.app.xxx". It doesn't read like a permission issue. Run Log just shows "err" on the launch app task.

I've tried re-setting cache from recovery menu.  Also tried wiping data/cache for the tasker app.

Any suggestions?

Small white flashing box at the bottom of Tasker everytime I open it. It says "Can't connect to ADB Wifi. Check here: https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/help/ah_adb_wifi.html"

This happens when I have zero profiles enabled, and ADB Wifi is disabled in Developer Options. I tried adding a port in the Tasker settings, but the error never goes away. Issue started after upgrading phone to Android 13, and was not having this nagging error message when running Android 12.

I've followed the directions on the link provided, but it works until Wifi Debugging is disabled (as I don't want it on), the phone is rebooted (scheduled

I want to use the LaunchApp-function, Activity of the System Contacts-App to let the user choose a contact from Contact List. Dialog is shown properly, Contact(s) can be picked. But how do I get the results of this dialog? Are they stored in any variables?

I tried creating a battery status of my Mi Band 5 using notify but I noticed that only % appears but the value of the variable is correct. (Ex: 26)

I also tried putting the number manually, it works. But if I'm using variable, it's not working. I even tried using Variable set just to convert the match from A1 to another variable but it also doesn't work and it shows %b instead. Meaning, it's not really converting the variable into its value. Just %battery.

I have an action that starts some text to speech. I have another action that shuts it up. I want to trigger shut up with a shake but tasker isn't getting or isn't action on the shake whilst the text to speech is ongoing.

The state Wifi Near doesn't trigger when device's screen is off (device is locked). Only first after the device's screen goes on (device gets unlocked) does the state trigger. Other actions e.g. Beep, Perform Task, etc., can trigger when screen is off. Location Net context also can trigger when screen is off.

Tasker should make a native workaround analog to Net/Cell Wake Screen.

I created separate task for enabling and disabling app. After running diabling app task app are disabled but both enable and disable task disappeared from taker. How do enable those disabled app?

Since the latest android update (Samsung A13, One UI v5.1) the call forwarding is not possible anymore.

Neither with ussd codes nore via "normal" phone -> settings.

If i deinstall tasker and restart phone, it is working again.

This function loss is quite a big problem for us, because we use it for an automatic call forwarding (on-call service).

Please help me, thanks!

Hi João!

The fade-in animation on custom toasts is a real dealbreaker for me at the moment in terms of actually being able to use them. I really wish that new toasts would display instantly rather than fading in slowly over the top of the previous one. This is especially jarring and obvious when displaying different text or background colours in quick succession.

If we could remove the fade-in completely and furthermore make sure only one toast is shown at any one time (either implicitly when creating a new custom toast, or via a separate 'cancel existing custom toasts' action),

As what title says, SQL Query gets a syntax error on using DROP COLUMN or DROP SQL Query: cursor exception: near "DROP" syntax error. Tested queries: ALTER TABLE "my_table" DROP COLUMN "my_column" ALTER TABLE my_table DROP COLUMN my_column ALTER TABLE "my_table" ALTER COLUMN "my_column" DROP ALTER TABLE my_table DROP my_column

Currently, Tasker prevents the deletion of tasks that are associated with profiles. If a task is not associated with any profile, but is used in one or more other tasks using the "Perform task" action, the user may mistakenly delete such a task and Tasker will not show warnings about the consequences this deletion. It is necessary that the user be warned if the task being deleted is used in other tasks. I believe that this is easy to implement, since even now, when renaming a task, the user is warned about the name change in links to this task,

Tasker mobile network state 'Active' does not apply when a connection is established using ipv6 only. When connected using ipv4 the 'active' state is properly set.

I was purchased app via google play and all time app is work properly except disconnecting from internet.

I cannot stay my all devices connected because tablet have no sim and this is real problem.

When using "Element Add Geomarker" there is a field called "Spot Colour" which allows you to set the colour of the spot surrounding the marker.

If the spot radius is set to 0, this parameter disappears, which makes sense. But if you set spot radius to a variable (e.g. %marker(3)) the spot colour parameter also disappears. This means you can only use spot colour if the radius is a constant.

I imagine this isnt intended

When using a variable to create part or all of the Action Label for an action within the Notify action, the notification correctly displays the variable value in the label. However, when clicking the action label to perform an action, the performed action's %caller variable displays the variable name instead of the variable value.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a task with the Alert -> Notify action.
2. In the Notify action, scroll down to the Actions section and add an action.
3. Give the action a label that includes a variable.
4. Set the action to Alert -> Flash. Set the Flash action's
