Assign checklist item to specific individuals
This would be great to have when it's a bigger task that has several folks working on specific elements of it.

Assigning sub-tasks to individuals is a crucial requirements for us. As you have received over 503 votes to get this feature developed, I think it is time to get it done. After verifying on the Microsoft Roadmap for Items for Planner, there are only 4 items on the development roadmap. I have encouraged our internal staff to user Planner over Asana but, lacking this functionality will prevent many of our users to adopt Planner.

The lack of assigning a checklist item to a specific person is keeping us with Asana as well.

Please provide some indication of when this will be added on the roadmap, as without checklist task assignment, adoption of planner is a nonstarter for us. Asana has had this for years.

Sub tasks is an absolute must have. I’ve even tried setting up different buckets for projects but you can’t see the bucket name in the schedule. It’s about as much use as a chocolate fire guard.

Cannot believe such important feature was missing since 2016....

For us this is a must to be able to use planner, which I would like. Ideal would be to have subtask templates as well. Subtasks should tracked in charts summary.

Having due date and people assigned into checklist item/subtask would help a lot!

Would be an easy improvement, but adding massive value

Any Project Manager will tell you having an ability to assign sub-tasks to different people is a must have within any decent Project Management tool. Please work on bringing this functionality.

This needs to be a feature. A definite requirement before I will use Planner

Very excited about using Planner because it is not so detailed that we spend more time tracking than doing. But it would be extremely helpful to be able to assign a checklist item to another person on my team! Please consider this as a new feature in Planner. Thanks!

One of the main reason to stay with Redbooth since Redbooth can assign checklist items or subtasks to specific members AND Redbooth can label due dates to subtasks.

This would be useful too when a task reaches a ‘stuck’ status. Others can assist with aspects to reach completion.

This is a definite requirement to make Planner usable. I can't believe this still isn't a feature?

Agree, also separate due dates for those checklist items (so the entire project can have one due date but the subtasks can have different milestone dates)

Need real assignable subtasks and a higher character limit in the checklists. Ideally could create a hierarchy of assignable substasks.

has this been picked for development yet? Or is there a better way to assign tasks

Yeah, if you look at Azure DevOps tasks, you have user stories and child tasks (parent-child relationship). Each user story and each (sub)task can be assigned to different person, with different due date, comments etc., this is missing in Planner for proper Agile management..
