Provide the ability to create Plan templates with existing tasks that can then be used to create a new plan
Rather than having to create every plan from scratch it would be good if the system allowed for the creation of Templates with pre-existing tasks (like in Word/Excel). This would allow a new plan and its tasks to be created from a template saving a lot of time.

Hello, thanks for the feedback. This feature is planned on our roadmap. We’ll provide more details as we get closer to starting development.

Hi,
Planner really excited me until it became clear it is completely unusable without the ability to template projects. Please could we have an update as it doesn't appear to be listed on your roadmap anymore.
Thank you for all the great work thus far.

Need an update on this. Planner is useless for my organization if templates are not part of it.

@admin this was raised Jan 2016 and you said on May 2016 it is planned and it's now 13 months later. Where is it? Seems to be the most requested feature with several threads on this totaling several thousand votes.

Come on Microsoft, when is this being released ?! Offering a card duplication or copy/past feature would be a quick alternative to solve a major flaw / drawback of Planner that thousands of users are requesting and complaining about. In oct/16 you innformed that is was in the roadmap an "in development": https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_onedrivefb-mso_o365brs/duplicating-a-task-in-planner/1c2dd94d-7a94-4dfb-9167-6f789b1dd82f. Now it is gone... WHAT IS GOING ON? Seriously, you need to hear your customer's feedback and respond quickly if you want to be competitive in the long term

I'm introducing Planner to my team, and templates would be a priority. Please give some update about it. Thank you

yes I support the idea of being able to create a base template to duplicate common tasks in a plan.

I don't understand. This has been a planned feature for over a year. When is this very basic feature going to be available???

Planner is absolutely useless to me without the possibility to work with templates.
Any updates? The item doesn't even exist on your roadmap.. -

An ETA would be useful for me as well. This feature is the difference between me being able to heavily use Planner for project workflow management and not using it at all.

Having the ability to template plans would be great for activities such as onboarding new employees.
Any updates on this planned functionality?
