Allow external users to view/edit tasks.
We have sub consultants that we collaborate with on a daily basis. It would be nice to have different levels of permissions to view tasks, edit tasks, and / or create tasks.

Instead of 1 to 1, allow Groups to have many Plans
Right now, groups have a 1 to 1 relationship (1 Group = 1 Plan), would be nice for a single group to have multiple plans
3,141 votes!! You can now create a new plan within an existing group!!
Once you open the “New Plan” dialog just select the link to add to an existing group. Your new plan will then be added to that group, leveraging the existing group infrastructure.

44 votesHi everyone! Groups support multiple plans.

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.
420 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
30 votesHello,
The iOS app now supports Intune MAM and Certificate-based authentication. This does not include conditional access, but this something we are working to support in the near future.

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.
28 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!

Very important: Make "Delete" a 2-phase operation. Now too easy to accidentally delete a bucket!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! In the latest version of the iOS app, when you try to delete a bucket, you should now receive a pop up to confirm the delete before it occurs.

This seems to have been mentioned in many different ways as suggestions, this really is essential to use as a project management tool, any PM needs to be able to report & track stages of a project, not just tasks.
