How can we make Planner better?

← Microsoft Planner - Feedback Forum

Allow Tasks to be moved between Plans/Boards.

Currently you can only move Tasks to different Buckets within a Plan/Board. It would be very useful to be able to also copy or move them to different Plans/Boards that you are a member of.

Thank you for your feedback! We’ve improved the ‘Copy task’ dialogue so you can chose a different plan to send a copy of a task to! We’ll be exploring and expanding the ways in which you and your team can organize work in Planner, and hope this will be a helpful step forward.

Here’s an article to learn more about this feature: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=872349

Let us know what you think below! Thanks again for taking the time to vote for this idea.

Cheers,

The Planner Team

    Create default set of labels so that we can use them over multiple plans

    Really need to be able to copy and move buckets and cards from one plans to another, and missing this possibility is a serious problem. Also as I have plans on several contexts, e.g. project management for a single project vs. unit's internal follow-up accross several projects, it would be very useful to be able to actually share buckets between plans, to avoid double-maintenance of task status.

    this is important since adding Teams, Teams creates a planner, many times redundant

  • Jarrad Harries commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I couldn't agree more. From a UI point of view, all it would take is a drop-down for "Plan" within the task along with "Bucket" and so on, plus a check-box for "Make a copy"...

    PLEASE add this piece of BASIC expected functionality. So many of us operate in environments where tasks are repeated in different phases/buckets

  • Michael Brannan commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Seriously why is this not part of the basic functionality of this tool? I believe this to be the single biggest flaw in Planner right now.

  • Michael Brannan commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I need to be able to vote for this one a few dozen more times. This is such a critical feature that's missing right now.

    +1. Yes, this needs to be added. I was surprised that the functionality of copy/paste or drag and drop from one plan to another was not supported. I tried this almost immediately after first beginning to use Planner. It looks promising, but please add some development juice to this app.

    I ran into the same issues, so I installed a 3rd party app to sync to outlook, Apps4.pro. Then you can export all your tasks to excel, then you can bulk change the plan and bucket they go to, then reimport. Not the ideal method, some things may not import, such as attachments, but if you have a lot of tasks you want to move, it will at least help. The app is free for 14 days, or $25 for a one time fee.

    I've been using Planner for about 3 hours now and already would like this feature. It's essential to be able to move or copy tasks between buckets and other plans, as well as being able to move or copy buckets between plans.

    It is important to be able to do this to maximize flexibility of the product.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I would like this. Especially as O365 rapidly changes with new features. Example, move task from a plan to a new plan under teams.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yeah like it's almost worthless without the ability to move a task to a different plan.

  • Pat Klocke commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Definitely need this functionality. Do not have the staff to document the same tasks, multiple times (we use Project today, and copy paste works there. Seems a fundamental gap.

  • Ben B commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This is the main thing that is keeping me from using planner with my team. Definitely a must have for this to be a useful team tool. Thanks.
