I've got a Tasker shopping list. When the list of 'List: Items to To Buy' is long enough to require scrolling, is it possible that when I add another item (tap on an item in 'List: All items') it automatically scrolls to the bottom of the list to show the last item?

Below is the exported info of the task I'm using.

Profile: Shopping List (4)

             Notification: no

             Event: New Window [ Label:Sheets Window Type:Any ]

    Enter: Show Shopping List (87)

             A1: Flash [ Text:Preparing Shopping List Long:Off ]

             A2: Perform Task [ Name:Read Shopping List Priority:%priority Parameter 1 (%par1): Parameter 2 (%par2): Return Value Variable: Stop:Off Local Variable Passthrough:Off Limit Passthrough To: Reset Return Variable:Off Allow Overwrite Variables:Off ]

             A3: Variable Set [ Name:%ProfileIcon To:/storage/emulated/0/Tasker/Profile Icons/ShoppingWhite.png Recurse Variables:Off Do Maths:Off Append:Off Max Rounding Digits:0 ]

             A4: KWGT Send Variable [ Configuration:Set: ProfileIcon Timeout (Seconds):0 ]

As far as I know, you really can't scroll a menu scene element other than using auto input to swipe the display.  And there is no way to show the menu at any given element.

The action-> 'List dialog'  allows you to show the list starting at any given item.  This might be a more appropriate way to display a grocery list. It has several options along with some buttons. To get to the end of the list you would need to re-show the list with the appropriate item index number. To show the bottom of the list you can just use a large number like 9999.

Hmmm I'll have a look at that, but I think I'll have to stick with the tried and trusted method of using my finger to scroll!
