Hello! Since this is one of our top asks from users (and has been for quite a while), we wanted to provide a quick update here. As mentioned in our last update, our team has been heads down shipping some recent integrations, such as the Tasks app in teams and Tasks in Docs (both of which have initial versions rolling out now!).

Recurring tasks (and the other top UserVoice asks) are still high on our backlog. I’ll provide updates here as this feature gets closer to being shipped! We also may use this forum to reach out to you, our engaged users, with design questions we have—so stay tuned if you’d like to help us bring you the best version of recurring tasks!

In the meantime, it’s great to see so much active engagement here. We continue to iterate on our initial designs as we get more feedback from users, so keep it coming!

    I really need this option a.s.a.p.
    I need to be able to create a recurring task for every 2nd wednesday of the month and so on.

    Hey Planner Team, it's been more than a year since you claim this feature has been "high on your backlog." How long is that backlog exactly?

    For me, the Microsoft ToDo app needs to be implemented into Microsoft Teams. This means all your project management is in one place and would make things easier for everyone.

    Well, I cannot agree more with the previous comment. This would make our lives a lot easier!

    In ToDo application we can plan recurring task but can not assign mutiple employee, in Planner can assign multiple employee but can not plan recurring task. There is a lots of problem mass to integrate each other application with functions.
    Urgently, please add the ability to create recurring tasks in Planner...

    I've managed to get recurring events working in the meantime using Power Automate; was a bit tricky to set up but the people I've made this plan for are happy with the configuration for now. It's still not possible to have things repeat on a particular weekday each month/year in Planner (i.e. every 2nd Wednesday). I hope to see a more user-friendly recurrring event setup in Planner in the future, similar to how you can do it in Outlook.

    can we please get an update/ETA on this feature? Our users are moving to monday.com to meet this need and I hate having to support yet another platform

    It is simply arrogant how Microsoft treats its paying customers. Something so simple, it is ridiculous and alarming.

    Please add recurring tasks as a feature. I want to be able to assign these tasks on an ongoing basis without having to manually enter them each time, or copy. Thanks!!

    I'm looking forward to this. We have a management systems team (Safety, Quality, Environmental) that uses Planner as scheduler for all the weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual tasks that running a management system needs - I can use MS Flow, but not everyone is comfortable with using the workaround, so if a new recurring task is needed I invariably get the task of creating the Flow. Perhaps Planner was the wrong choice?
