I really loved it. But I am wondering if there can be multiple task owners for one task.
I created a task, which has two owners in actual. For example, there is a presentation being conducted by two members, I should be able to make two owners instead of one.
418 votesThanks for the feedback. We’ve completed work to support assigning a task to multiple people.

Add "all Plans" with search to the iOS App
In the current version of the only plans with assigned tasks are listed. I need to visit also plans where i have not been assigned to a task.
And in a List "all plans", a search menu would be help to find a plan out of 180 quickly

Even though we have multiple plans per Channel in Teams. Currently can only see a single plan per Team in Planner.
I can create multiple boards per channel and multiple channels per team in Teams but when I go to Planner all I see is one plan/board per Team. I would like to see all plans established in Teams in Planner. OR, at the very least add the Charts functionality to plans in Teams.
27 votesWe have fixed this issue – you should now be able to find all of your Plans (whether created in Teams or not) in Planner.
Thanks for reaching out and supporting this thread!

Thanks for everyone’s patience on this item. We’ve completed our first item in this space. We now set Task Activity Email Notifications (Assign and Complete) to Off By Default. Plan/Group owners can turn this setting on/off in the “Edit Plan” dialog.
We still have additional work planned in this area such as providing more granular controls to which activities will trigger notifications and more control over cases where you’ve been assigned tasks.
Thanks again for the feedback!

Checklist Improvement
The checklists need to be more edit friendly. Also sometimes my checklists that I fill out with 10-12 pieces of information either completely disappear or half way disappear. Sometimes my descriptions also disappear.
24 votesWe believe the issues outlined in this thread have been resolved. If you experience any other issues with the Checklist, please start a new thread for visibility.
