Thank you for all the feedback. We’ve completed the work to support assigning a task to multiple people, and it is now available for use world wide.

Thanks!

I'm also seeing that Planner and Teams tasks are syncing up as well. Excellent!

This is great, but the task assignment email doesn't appear to work. I assigned 4 people to a task and none of them got an email. One of them is unsubscribed to emails for this Plan, so that's to be expected, but the rest are subscribed to emails.

Thanks, It's very useful in my work. I recommended to have the availability to download the Planner info to Excel or Power BI to alow us to have a Dashboard with some indicators. Please tell us when can we have this.

I see this feature is added, but when assigning multiple users all the notifications are sent with the name of the first person assigned. So I added 7 people to a task and I had 7 notices that the same person was assigned
