This is great news. Thank you. Something to add to the "future release" list is the ability to copy a plan into the same plan space/sharepoint. Currently it builds a new sharepoint for each instance of a copy. That creates terrible proliferation/confusion for my users.

Very frustrating that when using Planner from within Teams, tasks are linked across ALL projects. So when I tick a task as being completed in one Plan, it is marked as completed across all the rest of the plans too! We need some way of copying plans without all the copies remaining linked to the original and all the rest! This program is perfect except for this fundamental error that makes it useless.

Adding to Kerry's and Maria's points, I too find it frustrating and useless having linked tasks across copied plans. This is a great setup to make some serious mistakes across several projects if planner is the only tool being used. Is this something that Microsoft is going to fix?

So frutstrating that you are not able to copy a plan to an existign group or at least within a group. Or as an alternative to copy mutliple tasks from on eplan to another - as you cn do for every single task already...

But where is the ability to copy a plan within the TEAMS app? I just want to copy a plan within Planner within Teams.
And when copying, I'd like to see the option to retain assignments on tasks rather than have them wiped out. We repeat a task each month with the same people assigned to the same tasks.

it is not possible to copy a blank plan in Microsoft teams or to associate a copied plan with another channel.
This feature would be useful for us to manage recurring projects because we could manage projects from Microsoft Teams without having to have a second open program like Microsoft Planner -

It copies the plan but to Kerry's point, if I edit a plan on a channel it changes on the original plan.

Is there any update on this? It feels like it is close to working but just needs refinement. You can copy the plan fine but you can't then import that into other teams channels from what I can see.

This is broken! When you copy a plan, all the tasks are linked to each other! When I mark the task done on one plan it marks it done on ALL duplicated plans. Pretty dang useless. Sorry, y'all!

Hello, I am trying to copy a plan within MS Planner but whenever I click on the three dots (...) in the planner hub I only have the option to copy link. How do I get the option to copy the plan within MS Teams? Thanks

Mark me down as another vote for the 'copy bucket' functionality - I want to be able to get rid of the fillable PDF checklists I'm currently using to track new user on boarding procedures, and Planner *seems* like the obvious place to do that - but I can't seem to create a 'template' set of tasks and spawn off a new 'bucket' from that template to accommodate my scenario. This would have seemed to be an obvious use case to me, but I've been waiting years to see it come to fruition.

There needs to be an option to move the plan to the Group/Team of your choice.
Without this limits this new feature -

This is great - but we still need Copy Buckets.
If i search Copy Buckets in this forum there are 911 different requests that have split teh total vot for this simple funcionality.Planner Team request -
can you merge multiple requests with the same title request under one title and see what the total votes are please.

Please, everybody, go vote up https://planner.uservoice.com/forums/330525-microsoft-planner-feedback-forum/suggestions/37078834-copy-plan-to-existing-group . It looks very much as if MS is no longer monitoring this request as it got "completed".
The link I provide holds the specific question for what everybody still needs. -

There needs to be an option to move the plan to the Group/Team of your choice. The inability to move plans makes this feature less than ideal.

would be nice to be able to copy a plan, rename it, edit the group so that it shows up under the existing plans in the new group

+1 to all the commenters that need ability to copy plans within a team - a template situation is what we need.

Our project planning is in need of what many people describe below: The ability to copy full plans from Planner across different teams in Microsoft Teams as we often work on several projects with similar tasks to follow up on.
Are you working on this?
Thanks in advance -

When sharing a task, comments files and everything related to the task should automatically update in ALL locations

We need the ability to create a template and copy it into Teams as needed so that we aren't creating new plans each time. Simply copying it to the Planner hub with no ability to copy it to Teams is not useful at all.
