    Yes, and tags should initiate a notification within Teams Planner functionality.

    So disappointing functionality is not in Planner to tag people in the comments. It destroys the product in a team environment. I'm desperately trying to see how I can work round this to propose implementation in our company, but I'm failing to see how it would work. Getting group emails about tasks that are nothing to do with you is ridiculous.

    I even checked Power Automate to see if I could write a flow to notify when a task is updated but it's not a trigger

    We've been asked to use MS Planner instead of other project management tools as we have access to the MS Suite - it is so frustrating that I cannot tag a colleague! I have to email them to let them know something's on the board. If I'm doing that, I might just as well email them the task! Really poor and slowing down collaboration. Wouldn't use it if I had a choice.

    Whyyyyyy is this STILL not a feature? So annoying and really makes Planner look bad compared to other shared collaboration tools. Collaboration, after all, implies being able to notify others when something requires their attention.

    I would switch to JIRA purely on the basis that this feature is not on here. Reading the comments from 3 years ago, with all the resources at MS disposal, I cant believe this isnt a feature still...Shared collaboration tools with an inability to share via tags basically makes this software a fancy looking personal to do list which i have to manually show off!

    Hurry up and add this feature. It shouldn’t take 3 years to add and since everyone is working from home this really needed at the moment

    Please add an @ feature!

    It would also be good to have a button to accept tasks in email notifications.

    Please add the tag feature to tasks within planner - would make the tool so much more useful

    Wow.. This is amazing.. comments since 2017 and the tagging feature has already been implemented in loads of microsoft software... -.-
    Useless unless this feature is implemented soon!

    please add an @ feature. this is ridiculous to have a robust system that cannot simply tag a person in a comment within planner

  • Janne K commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Like comment below, do we have to move to Trello just because of this missing tagging possibility...
