prompt user with yes|no question

[Geralt]

Hi,

I'd like to ask the user in a task if he wants to keep a change the
task just made. Is there a way to ask a yes|no question and evaluate
the returned value in a task?

Use 'perform task' and run a named menu task with two options (yes/no)?

Or you can use popup task names/icons.

What is a named menu task? How do I create one?

I tried a popup task, but it's only showing me the text and no task
list. And I don't want to create to additional tasks named yes and no
(pollutes my task list and gets confusing when I need another task
with a yesno dialog).

Click the task selector button in the main screen and 'New Task' and
then fill
in a name. When editing the task, click the options icon and change
the task type to Menu.

It's 'Popup Task Names', not Popup.

Next Tasker version you can do this much more easily without extra
tasks. You can wait a couple of weeks or try the beta in the sticky
post at the top of the forum.

Great to here, that it will be possible in the next version!

For my temporary solution I created the following task that tries the
variant with the popup task names, but I only see the text message and
nothing else. And yes the two tasks "Display hell" and "Display
dunkel" do exist.

<class cl="Task" sr="">
<nme>Frage Display dimmen</nme>
<id>27</id>
<pri>10</pri>
<class cl="Action" sr="act0">
<class cl="StringArg" sr="arg5" ve="3">
<val></val>
</class>
<class cl="IntArg" sr="arg4">
<val>18</val>
</class>
<class cl="IntArg" sr="arg3">
</class>
<class cl="StringArg" sr="arg2" ve="3">
<val>Display hell</val>
</class>
<class cl="StringArg" sr="arg1" ve="3">
<val>Display dunkel</val>
</class>
<class cl="StringArg" sr="arg0" ve="3">
<val>Reduzierte Displayhelligkeit beibehalten?</val>
</class>
<code>565</code>
</class>
<default>0</default>
</class>

What's wrong with my task?

I'm not very good at reading XML, and I don't want to spend a long
time trying to fix a problem that will probably not be relevant after
next version.

(hope you can understand that)
