Function to add more Labels
Sometimes the Labels are not enough, for example if you use it to tag different departments or functions
Christian Paulsson
shared this idea
You can now choose up to 25 colored labels per task in Planner and Planner tasks in Tasks in Teams. More labels allows for greater flexibility when organizing tasks. Use labels to flag risks, signal delays, help fine tune task prioritization, clarify accountabilities, or categorize tasks around a theme spanning multiple buckets. Anything you can think of that requires color-coding and tagging tasks, labels can help.
More labels has been a top customer ask and we’re happy to make it available now to all organizations. Try it out in the mobile and web/desktop versions of Planner and Tasks in Teams.

The new colors are great. It would be better if I could arrange the colors in the drop down and move the most used colors to the top of my list.

woo hoo more labels and colours are now available. well done. One issue, when grouping by Label i would expect labels used to be to the left so can be seen without scrolling.
With the way its now implemented its by label colour order so if i havent used the pastel colours (left most) then they are empty and i have to scroll all the way to the right to find my tasks as im using your newest darkes colours.

Yes, definitely need the ability to add many more labels. And an even more powerful feature would the ability to add sub-labels, for example "Production > Video" and "Production > Print"

The lack of labels or add ons is a deal killer when trying to convince teams to move from Trello to Planner.

I would like to see the labels have a more obvious effect in all displays, including board and calendar. For example, change the outline to match the label color or fill the task with the color in both the calendar and the board.

Wait, how can this take more than 5 years to implement with this amount of user votes?

Would be great to get an update on timing, there definitely are not enough labels to be able to appropriately organize work.

MS Roadmap timeline has been updated and delayed to Feb 2021 a few weeks ago. We are 1/2 way there. Any firm release date or are we looking at another delay?
