    This suggestion is from 2018 and Microsoft did not even care to implement it ? I'm really afraid that our experience with microsoft 365 is not going to be as we expected, these are crucial and common sense to have a feature, sorry, a fundamentality in a project management tool in the late 2000s

    What's is really wrong with you guys at MS not seeing the need of such a thing?

    The lack of @ mentions severely handicaps Planner for use as a shared planning tool. Trello is a much better tool as a result. Unfortunately, I am stucking using Planner and have to send side emails to keep team members updated.

    This is an absolute must-have!
    It should work like it does already in Azure DevOps Boards and many other similar services.

    A separate story, but it could be great if Azure DevOps and Planner tasks could be integrated...

    This is an odd feature not to include - it's vital for discussing progress on tasks, and updating people with new information about task status.

    Number 3 is vital and I'm surprised it's been open for 2 years. Products like Jira, Slack, and Salesforce all have this as basic functionality. Please include this asap.

  • Stefan commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Number 3 is very important. Please implement. Also, please allow drag and drop attachments.

    We're using all Microsoft products, but we can't really use Planner for client projects without @ mentions. In the mean time we're using Trello, Slack, Quip, whatever our clients have. Terrible because we can't then see all our work in Planner Hub.

    Gotta have this!

    I want to use Planner, but some BASIC functionality is missing: copy/paste images, drag and drop attachments, notifications to task creator. Please update.

    This needs to be added because it's a fundamental part of what would make this a way to truly organise. We keep having to go off Planner to converse which breaks the flow. You need to quickly get someone's attention on a task as a basic.
