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!

    We use planner to assign monthly, quarterly and annual tasks to people. Especially, if trying to assign monthly tasks it's a pain to not be able to make them recurring instead of having to copy them 12 time and dozens of people.

    This would be a very useful feature -- I'm surprised it wasn't in an initial release.
    Is there a different app that can be used within TeamPlayer that supports reoccurring tasks?

    Recurring tasks would be awesome...and essential for my business to fully utilise planner and its integration with teams etc Just simply setup in exactly the same way you would a recurring meeting in Outlook pls!

    Any news on when work is starting on this? Will is happen in 2019 ?

  • Anthony Dove commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Over 1000 comments! A lot of people need this functionality. I can’t move across to planner until this is done.

    Any eta? Will have to keep using other solutions until this is delivered.

    Hi,
    Is it still unscheduled or is this something that is about to be released in the current year?

    Thanks,

    Mathieu

    Include the ability to select the first Monday (or whatever day) of the Month, or the first and third Wednesday of the Month for every month on an ongoing basis. The 1st, 15th, or 30th may be relevant for accounting; however, for facility functionality checks it does not fit the workload need. The option to pick a recurring day of the week, monthly, bi-monthly, semi-annually, etc. is more conducive to establishing a work scheduling pattern than the traditionally calendar-centered approach.

    Wanting to use this feature with MS teams and find out recurring tasks is not an option?? This needs to be added ASAP. Please add this feature to the development road map.

  • Ethan Craven commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    We honestly can't use this product until this feature is added. Please place this item from "planned" to off the "backlog" and in process. Please start development on this ASAP. Until then... Microsoft Planner just sounds like a good idea and not a good program yet.
