Thank you for your feedback on recurring tasks.

We’ve completed our initial designs (thanks a lot to your scenarios/details!) and are waiting for this to move it’s way up our backlog. We should have a scheduling update in November when work on three BIG initiatives wraps up. Stay tuned!

    According to the roadmap, nothing is "In development" for Planner sooooo is there an ETA for what quarter/year this will be "planned" for?

    Use case - Setting up re-occuring tasks for teams to perform and tick of against. EG Dailys for our shop - cash up, check frontage, check inbound emails etc etc. Monthly's - chase late payments, etc
    Yearly's check services supplied are best value.

    I would ideally like a grid with 52 days to ensure each activity is done and any gaps.

    Thank you.

    This is a real pitty that no implementation date for the recurrence option is provided till now. Is it that difficult to add this option to this tool?

    Silly that this was missed. We moved to Asana due to this. Too bad.

    We could really use this. We like using planner to guage general employee workload, so this has not been working out great for the employee's whose time is largely consuming by recurring tasks.

    My very first look at using Planner and this is a necessity for Planner to truly be of use to me. Is this being worked in yet?

    I am hoping to use this for quality control purposes. I need to track machine maintenance recurring over weeks, months, or years. It would be great to have something that gives so many days after the due date to complete the task, and then a report on what tasks were accomplished or missed in a given time period.

    Please give higher priority to this request. It would make planner an incredibly valuable tool

    please make it a robust recurring schedule. sometimes you need a task to repeat every week day, sometimes you need a task to repeat on the 1st and the 15th of the month
