Hi everyone,
Thanks for your patience! Since our last update, we’ve released a few features to address the feedback around notifications.
We’ve heard loud and clear that comment notification emails should go to only users who are relevant to a given task. Therefore, we’re excited to announce we’ve updated the integration between Planner and Groups so that users following the group associated to the Planner plan will no longer receive a group email in their personal inbox when comments are made for tasks they have never commented on before. Group emails notifications for all task comments in a plan are still sent to the group mailbox. We believe this behavior should ensure comment notification emails are scoped to a more relevant audience of those who have previously commented on the task instead of being sent to all members of the plan.
Additionally, we’ve added more context to the comment notifications…

Hi everyone!
A workaround for this is that we’re currently rolling out improvements to the Copy Plan experience.
This improvement will include the ability to choose an existing group or team to copy the plan into. You’ll also be able to customize what gets copied over.
I will share another update when this is available to everyone through Planner’s web experience. Please let me know if this unblocks your scenario.

As an update, our colleagues in To-Do have delivered the ability to create tasks directly from Outlook.com!
To-Do has rolled out the Tasks Pane for Outlook.com’s Mail & Calendar, and is also the new Tasks for Outlook.com! With Planner’s & To-Do’s integration, we hope that To-Do will become a central hub for all of your personal tasks, and that switching to Planner to collaborate with others is seamless!
Here’s more information on the To-Do’s task experience within Outlook: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/using-microsoft-to-do-with-outlook-com-416865a1-0c4d-4e69-af6f-f98ffce3747c

Thanks for the feedback on the Filter menu and cross-plan search functionality!
Next we’d like to pursue widening the Filter metadata to include other fields like assignee, description, and checklists. We’re also working with a search team in Office to align with UX and functionality across Office 365.
This work hasn’t been scheduled yet, but we will update this thread as soon as it is.
Please continue to share details on the filter and search functionality you’d like to see in Planner!
Thanks,
The Planner TeamJason

The same search bar at the top that you see on the other Office apps. Why not let it search all tasks of all Plans you have access to?

If you really want to start nibbling away at Atlassian's JIRA market share, it would be quite a blow to them if you can get this developed. The Tempo add-on for JIRA has billing and reporting feature that make it difficult to sell end-users on making the switch. Think about it, you have Planner, you have Power BI, Time tracking would complement those very, very well...especially for those who don't really need the robustness of Project Online.

We don’t have any major updates to share at this time – Export to excel is still our first step towards delivering better reporting capabilities in Planner. You can find updates and discussion on this suggestion here:

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,

There are a few things to bring up on this topic. I viewed the Help Center page where it explains how to choose when to use To-Do versus Planner versus Project Online. There is actually a forth one to consider for IT Teams: Azure DevOps. MS has made strides to improve the usability of the Office platform with the launch of O365. However, I think there is still work to be done around task management and project execution.
I think if you were to take the concept of which tool to use and plot it on a number line base on capabilities, you would see that Planner needs to be beefed up a bit and Project Online should just become part of O365!
For task management and project execution, from a scale of 1 to 10, here is how I would plot each of those tools, 1 being least capabilities, 10 being most capabilities:
To-Do: 1
Planner: 3
Project Online: 7 (off on it's own)
Azure DevOps: 9 (off on it's own)In terms of business needs, you would think they would want to try reach something like this:
To-Do: 1 (Personal focused)
Planner: 5 (Non-IT team focused)
Azure DevOps: 9 (IT team focused)
--------------------
Project Online: Portfolio Management that natively integrates with the To-Do, Planner, and DevOps to show the big picture.DevOps allows you to create some custom fields. I would see the "Boards" module of DevOps and custom fields as something that could truly benefit the users of Planner as well.

Thank you for your feedback! We’ve improved the ‘Copy task’ dialogue so you can chose a different plan to send a copy of a task to! We’ll be exploring and expanding the ways in which you and your team can organize work in Planner, and hope this will be a helpful step forward.
Here’s an article to learn more about this feature: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=872349
Let us know what you think below! Thanks again for taking the time to vote for this idea.
Cheers,
The Planner Team

Hello! Since this is one of our top asks from users (and has been for quite a while), we wanted to provide a quick update here. As mentioned in our last update, our team has been heads down shipping some recent integrations, such as the Tasks app in teams and Tasks in Docs (both of which have initial versions rolling out now!).
Recurring tasks (and the other top UserVoice asks) are still high on our backlog. I’ll provide updates here as this feature gets closer to being shipped! We also may use this forum to reach out to you, our engaged users, with design questions we have—so stay tuned if you’d like to help us bring you the best version of recurring tasks!
In the meantime, it’s great to see so much active engagement here. We continue to iterate on our initial designs as we get more feedback from users,…
