Thank you all for your feedback and votes!
As an update, this feature is still planned and is on our backlog. It is working it’s way up our backlog, but we haven’t scheduled work for it yet. We will keep you updated and update this thread as soon as we start development!
Cheers,
The Planner Team

Just now it takes longer to create all the weekly tasks as it would take to just do it or delegete as we have done in the past.
To copy is not the same and I have to assign it again. -

I happened onto a dropdown of Status of proposed ideas for Planner. The sequence appears to be as follows: Thinking about it, Tell us more, Planned, Scheduled, Started, In development, Partially Complete and then, finally Completed. Schedule Recurring Tasks is at the Planned level, the third level of 8 to get through. Don't think this feature is coming any time soon. Looking for an alternative...…...

Dear Microsoft team, Please be fast to introduce basic features of planner. It will be really helpful to us. Voting is Ok for few additional features but recurring task has KANO status as 'Must be'

The best way for a Monthly control (for examples), not to be forgotten, is to be reminded by a recurring task. It exists with outlook. It would be kind to imlement it in Planner.

Can the Planner Team provide an update on the status of this request?
As others have mentioned, the lack of recurring tasks is the biggest blocker to our adoption of Planner. This feature really should have been available on day one and as such needs to be at the very top of the priority list at this point. -

This is the 4th most requested item... and it's just 'planned'. Come on. Are you really listening to your customers?

This is required for us to leave Dodoist (which has this feature). What is the status on this? Still just planned?

Microsoft get on with it, this is absolutely essential.We've started a trial period with office for business, but missing features like this can become a dealbreaker.

Wow! 2019 and still no recurring tasks feature. Is MS Planner destined to be another piece of MS bloatware struggling to maintain relevancy in a sea of open-source options?
No? Then you need to prioritize this above literally everything else infesting your kanban. Wake up MS.

In terms of functionality, something similar to Outlook Tasks would be a good start.

It would be extremely helpful to be able to set recurring tasks (Monthly, Yearly, Daily, etc)

Any update on this feature please? I would love to move all of my tasks across from Asana, but it is just not user-friendly nor productive without being able to create a recurring task. Thank you.

Task creation is quite time consuming at the moment. We need recurring option as almost every task we do is recurring!
Task copying is a manual workaround that you need to remember befor filling out the task details. Please make it happen!! -

It makes absolutely no sense to use Planner without recurring tasks. Nearly 75% of our department tasks assigned occur on a weekly, monthly and bi-weekly basis. We simply do not have the time to type in a task every single time. We were excited about what our team could accomplish with this until we discovered there was no way to set up recurring tasks. Please make this a priority!

This is a high priority need. We need recurring tasks for weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, every 3 years, etc. I can't fully move over from Asana until this feature is added.
