Schedule reoccurring tasks.
Add the ability to schedule tasks every day, every Wednesday, every last Friday of the month etc...

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!

Embarrassing: that after nearly 5 years and 11,000 votes this feature remains unavailable.

This is a huge caveat to the usability of this product...along with a lack of offline syncing capability.

I'm waiting for MS to say they are retiring planner because no one uses it. Meanwhile, no one uses it because it lacks basic functionality like "reoccurring tasks" and the ability to track task progress.
Such basic functionality missing makes the product worthless....meanwhile no updates since August 12th 2019.

To avoid manual tracking and follow up with the team about certain important house keeping tasks, thought of using planner in Microsoft Teams. But it is not available.
Also, want the task to be marked as completed only after all of them complete it. That can done only by check list, but each item in check list can't be assigned to an individual.
Is this enhancement picked up? -

I still have reoccuring tasks in To Do which work great but it seems crazy I can no longer do this. Isn't this a step backwards?

Hey, it's a shame not to have this function still. Such a nice tool without such a basic function is... a shame.

Anyone know how to raise this better.
Vote for "Respond to users in uservoice" suggestion is all I can think off...

This basic functionality is long overdue. Unsurprisingly Microsoft has broken another promise. Perhaps if female developers were resourced to this project it could/ would have been sorted years ago - but alas, Microsoft's "No ***** No Play" protocol trumps everything. Hire some devs and get this done, 4 years+ is not good enough.

This is embarrassing this wasn't in the initial rollout, and has been sitting here as a request for 4 years.

I need Planner to be able to add recurring tasks/events/items whatever you want to call them in the following increments: weekly, monthly, 60 days, Quarterly, 6 month, Annual, 3 year & 5 year. If there is another Microsoft product that can handle this, please let me know.

Based on my experience converting to Office 365 for Business. Microsoft is blowing smoke. They have no intention of fulfilling this request for fear it will cannibalize other software. They want us to buy MProject (ridiculously cumbersome, unless you are rebuilding Rome) or Flow (a "work around" that I am pretty sure was freely available a couple of years ago, but now costs $15/mo/user, probably because someone used it as a work-around to this particular problem. Time for an anti-trust effort so that this monolith can be broken up

Based on my recent experience converting to Office 365 Business, Microsoft has no intention of fulfilling this request as it will cannibalize sales of MProject. Like so many other things, M wants small business to buy an interplanetary spaceship at top dollar to fly a few blocks The idea of supplying the scooter we really need simply doesnt occur.

What an idiotic display, it should be a basic function. For crying out loud.
