Copy Plan to Existing Group when Users are not allowed to create new groups
With the new copy plan functionality to allow plan copy between groups, we still can't use this due to User group creation being disabled.
Please update the logic to allow plan copying to existing groups even when User creation of new groups is disabled.
12 votesHi all! Thank you for your patience. Everyone should have the ability to copy plans to existing groups now.

Copy Plan to Existing Group
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.
901 votesHi everyone,
We have updated our Copy Plan experience – please try it out today!
This improvement includes the ability to choose an existing group or team to copy the plan into (or choose to create a new group). You’ll also be able to customize what gets copied over. Attachments can only be copied over into existing groups/teams.

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!
