How can we make Planner better?

← Microsoft Planner - Feedback Forum

Copy a task

Need the ability to copy a task, including the checklists and other items within the task. This would allow one to set up a template task, then create many tasks using that template task. This is a different request than the many copy suggestions that have been made already.

    Same question. How can we paste the task into other planners? We need the ability to copy a task to a different Plan, please. Or copy a Plan. The ability to copy a task only within a single Plan has very limited use. Please update us on progress for being able to copy a task a a new Plan or a different Plan. Thank you

    So copying is understood and available. But how do you paste it back into another plan? Do you need to create a task and paste or simply CTRL V into the new plan??

    Thank you for at least listen. But, the current fix is not exactly what I had in mind. I would like to copy multiple tasks between buckets and even plans. Not just one task at a time. Will this ever be in development?

    This is an absolute must have feature. Cant wait to use it.

    @admin thank you for this. will appreciate this new feature.

    Moving tasks (ability to select multiple) between plans is a must have requirement. I am using Apps4.Pro Planner Manager to overcome this deficiency.

    This would be a valuable feature for Planner. Many of the tasks my organization has are very similar. Recreating a checklist for each is very time consuming. I see this is In Development now is there an ETA?

    This has been available in Trello for quite a while - perhaps developers should look at what Trello has developed and work on similar features:
    - template tasks to copy
    - copy across lists and boards
    - theming/backgrounds
    - create several cards from a single card description containing carriage returns

    when would this be available. we have only been using planner a few weeks but need this feature asap

    Hi all - do we have any update on development of this feature? It has been more than 1 year since feature development start ... or is "User Voice" not important anymore?

  • karen mitri commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I have projects will similar task lists. it would be great to copy tasks or entire boards. I could create a Template Board that I would copy entirely or tasks individually.

    I really wish MS Admins for user voice would start posting in a response, when we can reasonably expect another update on these requests. Or provide some insight into the prioritization of items in each phase. Thinking About, Planned, Started. etc.
