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.

    12 January 2021 - is there an update on when we will have more labels?
    Having to use buckets instead of labels is clunky and messy and makes the user experience for our teams less enjoyable.

    More labels are needed to be able to utilise Planner more effectively. When will this be available?

  • Lee commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Definitely need more labels as we have more divisions than the simple six. Also open up the color choice as we have our orgs and other main subjects already assigned colors that don't align with the simple choices. Please and thank you!

    This is so limiting, I recently updated my labels in OneNote and Outlook. Because this isn't available in Planner, I'm switching to using Trello.

    The option to add more labels is a needed addition to help make this product usable in more circumstances. Any feedback if/when the ability to add more labels will be available?

    6 is definitely not enough, ideally it should be fully flexible as there is different situations where you need different lables.

    Not nearly enough labels. We should be able to have as many as needed, and to color code them as we'd like.

    This has been in development for quite a while. Is there an estimate on when the update will be rolled out? 6 labels is not enough for managing multiple tasks.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I agree; we need more labels; ideally a LOT! Can you please let us know an ETA for when this feature will be rolled out?
