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!

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.

Frankly it breaks my heart to hear the Product Manager, Planner say this is a Top Ask and yet this post has no updates from MS 15 months. Take a suggestion from Salesforce and re-imagine how you listen to customers and communicate timelines to implementation.

Hi ! This should has been from the start! OMG this is basic feature.. this is like meeting in Outlook.
Moreover could I suggest to be implemented a Theorical time of the task and a real time assigned to the task. It would be really interesting to be able to know how much we desviate from a theorical time spent on a task versus real time.
Thank you very much in advance!

This is more important than recurring tasks? You're joking, right?

Unfortunetaly it's the age old issue with growing businesses and products - the needs of the existing userbase is ignored in preference ot developing "new customer attracters"
