    Thanks for your feedback!

    We’d like to add custom columns to Planner, but don’t have anything planned at this time. We’re working on three big initiatives that are landing later this year (stay tuned!) and will likely start work on recurring tasks soon after.

    Please continue to vote as we utilize UserVoice heavily to order our product backlog and will adjust regularly if things change!

    Thanks again for your patience and feedback,
    The Planner Team

    Agree; we have been using an SP task list template that was customized with several additional fields for sifting/sorting/reporting purposes. It would be nice to be able to define the task fields for a particular plan. (e.g. Size/LOE, Component, etc.) It also would be nice to revise the Status choices. I have looked at using the colored labels and even overriding the checklists, but it's not as functional as just adding additional custom fields and being able to sift/sort on those.
