   We have some Plans that will require large amounts of tasks to be entered. Manual effort is tremendous and a huge waste of time. When will the Import feature be abailable?

   Hello! We wanted to provide an update to our status below. As we announced in our previous status update, our initial integration with To Do was our first step in a journey of bringing all your Microsoft Task Management services closer together, including Outlook and Planner. Through To Do, you can see your Planner tasks within Outlook on the Web.

   However, the continuing feedback on this post makes it clear that there is a desire for more work to be done to improve this experience. We want to make sure this feedback and votes aren’t getting lost by being added to this existing post.

   Instead, we’d like to make sure you have a forum to express these continuing pain points / desires, and a way to vote for which ones you’d like us to work on first (and how we should prioritize those asks against the many other great asks we get from users like you).

   To that end, we’ve created the following UserVoice items to track some of the feedback we are continuing to see in this post — please vote for the ones that matter the most to you, and add new items to track anything else!
   *You want to be able to create Planner tasks from within Outlook: https://planner.uservoice.com/forums/330525-microsoft-planner-feedback-forum/suggestions/41039506-create-planner-tasks-within-outlook

   Hello!

   We’ve just released our integration with To-Do as a first step towards a larger task coherence initiative.

   Why To-Do and not Outlook tasks?
   We are integrating with To-Do because Outlook tasks is being replaced with the To-Do app. This experience has already shipped for Outlook Web users, and the To-Do team is working on bringing this to Outlook Desktop apps as well.

   Today, you can view and edit Planner tasks you’ve been assigned in To-Do’s new Assigned to me list. This is available on to-do.office.com and To-Do’s Windows, Android, and iOS apps.

   Here are more details on this integration: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Planner-Blog/Planner-and-To-Do-integration-bringing-you-a-more-cohesive-task/ba-p/553485

   Our work in this area is not done, and we’re relying on you to help us decide what’s next! This thread has grown to encompass a lot of different ideas and pain points, so we’d love to break it out to help us prioritize and dive deeper into user scenarios.

   One of these ideas is a “Convert to Planner task” button for emails. Vote and join the conversation here: https://planner.uservoice.com/forums/330525/suggestions/15943510

   Thank you so much for your patience and thoughtful feedback, please keep the suggestions coming!

   Cheers,
   The Planner Team

   Thanks for your feedback!

   With due date options in the Filter menu, and the ability to group tasks by due date category, we’re hoping that this will help Planner users find and organize upcoming dates and deadlines.

   We understand there is still an ask for sorting tasks within an existing grouping, please continue to use this thread to share feedback on this.

   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, so keep it coming!
