Planner integration of custom environments
Hi all, We have Planner deployed in a custom environment (using the Microsoft Project Accelerator) and until recently, we couldn't see these plans or tasks in the Microsoft Planner app. I just noticed today that I have now access to these plans in the tab "My plans", but I cannot see the tasks in "My tasks". I tried to find some documentation or announcement about this, but I couldn't find anything. I would like to know if and when the tasks from these plans will be visible in my task list. Anyone knows more about this? Thanks! Sofie
How to create a new task in a specific plan from Outlook (from an email)
Hello, I want to know if there is a way to easily create a new task IN A SPECIFIC PLAN from Outlook. From the TODO menu I can create a case easily with drag'n'drop feature but this taks is created in my private plan. So can I specify the plan ? Or, at least, from the MY TASKS menu of Planner, can I change the PLAN ? Currently, I got an the "EDITS TO THIS FIELD ARE RESTRICTED" message with a lock on it Or is there another way to access a specific plan in Outlook in order to easily create followup task ? PowerAutomate ? Many thanks for your help. Fred, Planner Newbie
MS Planner: Ability to assign sub-tasks?
Hi there, We are using Planner and was hoping to find a way to assign sub-tasks within a task to specific team members. This way, we don't need to track dozens of tasks for one project. We are also not interested in created a Planner for each project, because some projects may only be 1-3 tasks that need to be worked on by multiple team members. We are using the checklist feature and assigning multiple people to a task, manually typing their name in the checklist - but this is not a great tool, as it leaves room for a lot of human error, unable to assign deadlines for checklist items, and we can't @ team members in the comments in a task. Is this possible or at least in the pipeline for Planner? Other project mgmt tools offer this, so I can't find a reason why Planner would skip this entirely. I am hoping I am just missing something.% Complete - doesn't seem to calculate properly, what am I missing?
I am fiddling with Project for the Web / Premium Planner in an attempt to make YouTube tutorial content. I'm creating tasks, trying to make some sample content, and setting the completed/remaining hours to be partially done to simulate an in-progress project. What I'm noticing is that the %Complete tries to auto-update, but seems to be calculating really oddly? Like it's coming out with 6% complete for 1 hr completed + 1 hr remaining = 2 hr total. Am I misinterpreting what it's trying to do or is it not functioning? When I try to manually set the %Complete to 50% to override, it changes out the hours to be very different and it still doesn't come out right.Plan marked as deleted, when I did not delete it
Hi! I just went to open a plan of mine that I use quite often, to see the message shown in the screenshot below: This plan has been deleted. At the top of the screen, I see "We couldn't load your plan. Please try again later," with the following info: Correlation Id: 9b1ad5a0-b760-4517-88f2-55c51d1d5bd1 Time Stamp: 2025-06-03T14:35:07.183Z Im worried that it's not just a bug that will get fixed with me trying again later, but actually that the plan was deleted. Is there any way to recover a deleted plan? These are the only buttons I see in Planner and none to a trash bin or something of the sort. I don't even know how a plan could be deleted since that is not even an option when the three dots next to a plan is clicked: Has anyone experienced this?
Personal Planner: Only Bucket View?
I use my Personal Planner to keep track of everything I have to do. I always use it in list/grid view sorted by due date, with only those Not Started or In Progress visible. However, Grid view is gone this morning. Bucket view is my only option, even though there aren't any buckets in this list. Instead of a condensed list that's easy to see with everything I have to get done today, I'm scrolling through an out-of-order list trying to find everything on my own or filtering by due date is "This Week", but it's still out of order. None of the items in this planner are listed in "My Tasks" or "My Day". There's no ability to assign them to myself, since they did that by default. I can't rename the bucket or move any of the items to another bucket or to my "to do" list. How do I get back the condensed view, so this list is manageable without redoing the entire list somewhere else? I keep everything here from the steps to do our annual database clean up to our annual grade promotions. It's a an entire year of tasks. This is the only Plan having this issue, but it's the most important and it's making getting stuff done today so much more complicated.New planner doesn't show a "schedule" view of tasks assigned to me from different plans
The new version of web-based Planner was enabled for me a few days ago, on November 17th. Apparently, I realized that one of the features I used is missing. At the "My Tasks" view, in the old version of Planner, one could choose to have different views, apart from the grid view. The most useful one for me was the "schedule" view, since I could see in one calendar, all assigned tasks from different plans/teams/projects. This functionality now seems to have been removed, and one can only see one separate schedule per plan.
Insert a table into the Planner task description through Power Automate
Hi, I've been trying to understand how you can insert a table in the Planner task description through Power Automate. I can see that you can create a table in Microsoft Word then paste this into the Planner task description as shown below but I'm getting no luck in trying to re-create this through Power Automate (update task details). I've tried to use the get task details for this task and it shows a string of "| Location | |\r\n| --- | --- |\r\n| Name | |\r\n| Contact Number | |\r\n| Email | |\r\n| Reason for request | |\r\n| Actions required | |\r\n| Initially Assignees | |" then when I try to use this as a template for the action Update task details, it produces this as a string rather than a table. I've also used the Graph API to get the task details but it shows exactly the same as the string already mentioned. I'd be really grateful if anyone could help!
New Premium planner plans not showing up in PowerAutomate
Hello all, I'm currently experimenting with the trial version of the new premium planner. When I want to create a flow in PowerAutomate and use the "Create task (preview)" operation, or any other planner operation, my premium plans are not showing up in the list, only the basic plans. Are new premium plans not yet integrated with PowerAutomate, or is there another issue?
