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.

For me, in the top three shortcomings:
- assign a person to a checklist item (sub task)
- have recurring tasks
- link tasks between plans -

AGREED 100% Also include checklist due dates so that planner can help manage OKRs better.

Well a checklist is not sufficient for bigger tasks. There should be Sub-Tasks as well. Take a look at Bitrix24 ;-)

Please add the possibility to assign a checklist item to a specific person with a specific due date within one task.

I agree checklist tasks need to be full Sub-Tasks with ability to assign to members and to set a due date & due time (due date as a minimum)

Yes, PLEASE. There is still the question on when to work in a conversation and when collaborate in a task. But at least it would be much easier, to use the one single for more complex tasks

Just a bump, this feature would be value adding. Especially with a deadline.

Please include the ability to -
. add subtasks,
. to breakout checklist items into subtasks,
. to be able to elevate substasks to tasks,
. add dates to checklist items. -

A big nod for the need to have subtasks that are assignable to individuals with due dates that roll up in to their plan and show the connection between the Plan -> Bucket -> Task for easy sorting and reporting.

Please include dates and assignments to checklist items.
Also increase the number of allowable checklist items

This tool will not truly work for us - coordinating activity across multiple departments and teams with multiples deadlines - unless we can add subtasks to tasks, assign them to individuals and add due dates.

This requirement goes a long way in adoption across our org and partners (guests on the plan)

Also using a third-party tool instead of planner, due to the lack in this functionality.
With Trello you can assign a responsible to a checklist item AND give checklist items deadlines!!

How do we get this moved up in priority? This is really one of the only reasons I don't use Microsoft Planner and use a third-party tool.
