The ability to copy a Plan was recently released (see link below) but this only provides the ability to copy a plan to a new O365 Group. It does not provide the ability to copy a plan to an existing O365 Group. Most people do not want to create a new O365 Group for every Plan they have (Group sprawl). Please offer an option when copying a Plan to either target an existing Group or a new Group based on your preference.

Guest users should be notified by e-mail for any new assignments, due dates and late tasks. At the moment, only Members and Owners receive reminders for assigned tasks.

1. When a task is assigned to a guest, they should receive an e-mail with the information sent to their e-mail address outside of the Office 365 tenant.




2. Reminders sent to the guest's e-mail address




3. Updates to the task sent to the guest's e-mail address.

When we create a Private Channel in Teams, creating a Planner is not an option in the channel tab. This would be helpful: to allow this subgroup of people to work together on a confidential activity within a team.

1. Notifications to the task creator on any changes to a task's status in planner


2. Email notifications should include the plan/board that that the task is associated to or a part of


3. User should be able to @mention other users within a task


4. User should be able to create private channels within a team

For all comments, email notifications need to be sent to all assigned to that task. That is the main use of Planner. If team members have completed their task; they can remove themselves from the assigned list, to stop the unwanted emails.

It would be nice to be able to tag or @ people in the comments section so they get a notification.

We'd like to be able to include the comments field in a task export.

1. Please add a keyboard shortcut to submit a comment after I've finished typing


2. Let us edit my own comments (with audit history)


3. Thread comment responses (like in teams)


4. @mention users in comments

Hi, as a team leader i would like to have a view showing all tasks from different project for all my team members.

Could be simular to the my tasks view but show task for all my team members.

It would be nice to be able to create custom status’s for your board.

We use additional status’s for when we are working on a task. For example something may be in progress but we would set the status to Waiting on Customer or Pending Testing.

It would be great to create our own status’s that can be applied to the Plan for better tracking.

My team uses the planner widgets for agenda items and actions, but we cannot enter > 20 items. We oftentimes list > 20 items, can the limitation be removed?

Currently, in order to create a new Plan, you need to have permission to create a new Group.

Why not allow people who don't have Group creation permission to at least create Plans within existing Groups!

Allow admin control for deleting tasks.
If not that - somehow track the history of deleting tasks by user.

If someone adds a comment to a task, the person who created the task and anyone assigned to the task should receive an email notification in their inbox in the same way a person who is assigned a task receives an email notification.

I'd appreciate to have the possibility to see when a due date has been changed by a team member. Currently everyone can change due dates and you won't be able to realize in case you don't know all the dates by heart.

It would be awesome to have a desktop app for Planner. I found that my team does not like to go in through their web browsers to access Planner. It would make it a lot more accessible.

It happens recently that the background of the task box is exaclty the same as the background colour of the calendar without any margin around making it really difficult to identify if a task goes over more than one day. Please, change it back to how it was with a drop shadow or a different background so it can stand out.

I was excited to see the option to copy plans. However, I quickly became disappointed when I found out that assignments, dates and attachments did not transfer over in the copying process. VERY frustrating. This made the Planner tool much less useful to us.
This issue could be fixed if in the copying process there was a toggle to select which items the user does or does not want to be copied within the tasks.
I hope that these type of enhancement is something that you'll consider to make MA Planner the most user friendly possible. thanks.
