Stop an app without using root
Current kill app only works when use root is checked. If possible, I'd like the ability to stop another app on an unrooted phone (this is the only remaining thing I still need root for).

Get Task execution ID and Stop a task using (also) its execution ID
Hi, it would be very nice
- An action to get, inside a task, its execution ID
- Stop a task execution using its execution ID (instead of its name)
These features would be very useful expecially with multiple instances of the same task running together

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

Feature Request: Indicator for Ignored Cells in "Cell Near" Recent Cell List
When editing a “Cell Near” state, the Recently Connected Cell List currently shows:
✅ Tick mark for cells already added to the trigger list
❌ Cross mark for cells not yet added
However, it does not indicate which cells are already in the Ignore list. This makes it difficult to manage or fine-tune ignored cells, especially when the cell list is long.
🎯 Feature Request:
Please add a third indicator (e.g., a grey mark, pause icon, or any visual cue) beside the cell IDs that are already added to the Ignore list, within the “Recently Connected Cell” popup. This will

Scene Editor > slider events
We already have "on value selected" when the user releases the slider in a different position.
It would be nice to have "on value changed" so we can do things while the user is still sliding it.

Copy the open-source Be Nice app's split screen functionality to fix Tasker
There is an open-source app called Be Nice that seems to have successfully implemented split screen support for modern Android devices. Perhaps Tasker could use it for inspiration on getting its Split Screen feature working again. Here's the source on GitHub: tkuenneth/BeNice: Split-screens on Android made easy
(Note: I'm not affiliated with Be Nice. I just ran into it on Reddit.)

Better support for HTML in actions like Text/Image Dialog or List Dialog
There are a lot of times when you want to show some text data on the screen but right now if you want make a style change to your text you are limited to use mostly 3 options: 1. Scenes which has serious problem with sharing with other people devices. 2. AutoTools Web Screen which is for more advanced users. 3. AutoTools Dialog seems to not support RTL languages.
I am suggesting to give more html tags support for more popular actions like Text/Image Dialog or List Dialog that most people use. I would prefer a more "native" style so

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.

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.

Check for new update for imported Taskernet projects
I saw there was a post about it already but i thought to give it a try.
https://tasker.helprace.com/i1756-auto-update-feature
I have found out that technically everyone can do it themself by saving the date of the imported project using the api taskernet link and just to compare it with the current date inside the json data.
https://taskernet.com/_ah/api/datashare/v1/shares/$user/$project?a=0
So how about doing something like this but built in within Tasker with every imported project?
I would also recommend having the option to control the check for new update time and excludes projects from the checkup that the user doesn't want to update.

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

"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.

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.

Feature Request: Support Named Regex Groups in If ~R Conditions
Please extend If ~R conditionals to support named regular expression capture groups (e.g., (?<ssid>.*)), just as the Simple Match/Regex action does. This would bring consistency across matching actions and allow cleaner logic in reusable tasks by eliminating the need for intermediate extraction steps.
Example:
…should create the variable %ssid if matched, just like Simple Match/Regex already does.
Thank you!

In the application context selection screen, make the frame around selected applications higher contrast
I can't see the difference at native resolution. I have to zoom to maximum zoom to see if an app is selected, and even then, it's hard to see. Native Resolution Maximum Zoom Another idea is to dim the overall tile for unset, and have selected apps at regular brightness. It just needs to be easier to see.

Search throughout labels
After more than ten years of Tasker usage, I have had the need to search for keywords in labels and found that, strangely enough, they are not considered part of the user data.
I don't know if that would be really useful to anyone; I haven't tried to use it for ages. However, I would like to suggest this feature. Thank you.

Searching Tasker Global Variable Values
Hey,
I know how to use the search functionality within Tasker to search for the name of a Global Variable or array I have in mind. Supposing however, I have a value in mind and I want the search to retrieve a list of Global variables that currently match that value. I think it would be neat if that were possible.
Many thanks

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.

Multi-Line Input Dialog
I'd like to request the implementation of a single input dialog that contains the option to add additional lines with optional text above each line to produce a different variable per line or array.
This will supplement the need to send input dialogs back to back to back to query the user for an additional piece of information in order to complete 1 operation.
