Function to add more Labels
Sometimes the Labels are not enough, for example if you use it to tag different departments or functions

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.

Praise be to the Label Maker. We really need it. I can see more colors under Filter, Labels...but I can't use them. What a tease.

Very excited to see that this ask is being worked on. I'm currently using with our team for Request and not looking for multiple people to be assigned to alleviate confusion. I view the tags as a way to indicate the task requester, and not the task assignee. Being able to customize the tags has been very beneficial. Our team recently moved past 6 employees, and now the new additions feel left out because they don't have their own color/label. Any estimate of when this might be available for scaling?

This is a critical feature and give some reasonable limit! I need at minimum 15 different labels for example, I expect others to need more. Also allow color-editing them please!

This is almost to the point where we will need to look for another solution. Hope it is implemented very shortly.

Increased label quantity over 6 is very much needed

This would be great for us to be able to incorporate into our planner. It helps align the board with organization/departmental goals.

I see 25 labels in the filter but they are not available to use. Can you please confirm when the 25 labels will be available to use. This is extremely important feature we have been waiting for ages !!

I see when Filtering there are many other Labels (Colors) but in the Task they cannot be assigned. How do I enable using more Label Colors?

In an effort to stop all the "+1" and "We need this now" comments, it appears that this is on the roadmap (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Planner) and slated for release next month (Feb. 2021). Perhaps we can all hold any unnecessary comments until after February?

Hey there. We would need also to customize the labels, or add additional fields in order to create some meaningful KPIs. Any updates on this ?

Yes, in a number of scenarios we run into problems with the 6 available labels, please allow creation of new labels either with automatic additional colors or manual color picker. But the increase in labels is the key requirement!
