Is there a way to create a task that imports a pre-determined tasker *.xml file and then run it or update an existing task that is already running/programmed? The xml file will be changed periodically and remotely via dropbox and dropsync app. If I keep the same filename and structure I thought it may be doable? Wishful thinking or....? Thanks in advance for any thoughts or advice.
Tasker has an Import action. I tried it for you and could not get it to work.
Passing a task as an XML file is a dangerous practice. When you import an xml file Tasker will prompt you to make sure you want to do it. It could easily be modified by someone else in the transmission and cause problems when installed.
You could create an APK using Tasker App Factory. When you installed the new version Tasker would also require manual intervention to complete the installation for the same reason.
What is the changing data that you are trying to update? Perhaps there is an alternate approach that is not dangerous.
