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!

    Recurring tasks would be helpful if it had the same functionality as outlook tasks as far as options

    Reoccurring tasks is feature would be very helpful and needed at our facility

    Hopefully this will be brought in soon, it seems such a basic feature that was missed and clearly in high demand.

    Please add this feature. Including the ability to adjust for workdays that change each month.

    Any update? Recurring tasks tend to get forgotten so that reminder is crucial!

    This is quite simple to implement using Microsoft flow. Set up a scheduled flow with the recurrence you require and simply Create a task with the details you need!

    We are evaluating software options for team priority lists for our team and really need the ability to have reoccurring tasks.I hope we can continue further integrating our team with office 365 but this is a needed function, please add.

    Needed for our management/supervisors in the field to assign recurring daily/weekly/monthly duties. Definitely a needed feature for Planner to be useful for many teams.

    This is a deal breaker for me. With the amount of clients I have, each having recurring tasks each month, I need to have this feature. This would be an amazing feature.

  • Mark Ward commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This would be an amazing addition please add this as soon as possible. it would allow me to schedule planned works with my teams across multiple sites

  • Lisa Mosrie commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    TEAMWORK.COM allows for recurring tasks with significant more functionality. Because I can email it to my TEAM site, it makes it a better option than Planner. This is essential for those of us who manage many things. I don't know, really, who doesn't. Hoping you will move this up to a more urgent status since it has been years since the initial request.
