Assign people to specific sub tasks
At the moment it's only possible to assign users for the overall tasks.
Can you make it possible to assign people to specific tasks on the checklist?
Currently, you have to create multiple cards to assign these tasks to individuals (which increases the amount of cards on display); if you could instead assign people to subtasks, then this would greatly simplify the overall planner view. For bonus points, having the ability to specify due dates for subtasks would be great!

Bulk task creation in planner.
It should be possible to mass-create tasks in planner. When you manage ad-hoc team tasks on a daily basis- it's manageable.
But when you'd like to plan some work over a longer period of time and have a lot of tasks to assign- it's not suitable to do that one by one.
If you take SharePoint- it's possible to create a list of tasks by copying them from excel (task list can be edited in 'excel-like' mode). Something similar should be available in Teams to really take advantage of the planner functionality.44 votes -
Sorting in Planner
I would like to be able to sort planner items outside of their buckets in Teams by various criteria (tab color, etc.). Different sort/view options should be available

Create milestones in Planner
It would be great to be able to create "milestones" in Planner, where we can assign tasks as being part of certain milestones. We can sort of do this with the Checklist, but sometimes each checklist item deserves it's own discussion. We also have the tags, but I'm picturing something a bit more explicit, similar to Github issues/milestones (see image). By assigning tasks to milestones, you can see clearly that the milestone is "met" only when the tasks are done. Currently, we've been setting milestones by creating separate Plans. This might belong in the Planner forum, but my only exposure…

Deleting planner tab, tasks and especially notifications should be deleted
Deleting a plan from teams with outstanding tasks in planner does not fully delete the tasks. Notifications for late tasks are still emailed. The option for delete plan and tasks was checked. These can be viewed in my tasks view from planner and they show up under former plan. I have since deleted those tasks which were assigned to me in planner, but I can't view other's tasks as the plan has been removed.

View all Tasks for the Team
It is great to now be able to create multiple plans within a single Team, but now it is hard to manage all the tasks within that team.
Currently, one would have to go to each individual Channel's Planner tab to review each team member's workload. It would be nice to be able to view a team member's workload across all the different Channels/Plans, along with other aggregate data across the Team's different Plans.
Some examples of useful information when viewing aggregate data across all of a Team's Plans:
1. Workload of a Team Member across all of a Team's…39 votes -
Improve Planner activities assigning by multiple members
It will be amazing if you guys include multiple assignees in activities on Planner.
It will also be a good improvement if you add the option of including external members for colaboration.39 votes -
Pin Planner tab to left panel in Teams
Right now, you have to click a drop down to access Planner on the left panel, and there's a lot of space to add icons. Give the option to pin Planner there for easier access.

Planners in private channels
The ability to create a private planner in a private channel in Teams is much needed. Right now I have to create a private channel in Teams. Open Planner and create a private plan, copy the link. Open the Team channel and create a website tab and pasting the link. TOO MUCH!

Slider to adjust the size of the overview - view more tasks on one page (unleash the potential)
Summary:
The maximum is reached with 10 tasks per bucket at a zoom-level of 100%. Not enough to manage business projects...Why:
Complex projects of today cannot be managed with this small amount of tasks. However, there is a huge need for clever project management tools such as Planner.How:
The easy handling of Planner should be continued. Therefore the solution should be a simple slider or a few view settings (e.g. standard, max x tasks, all tasks on one page).What:
With this solution it is easy to see which project member has too many tasks.
The challenge is…37 votes -

Copy Planner Items
I may have multiple buckets with similar items in them, and it would be easier to copy the items to another bucket, instead of copying text between them. Thanks.

As the colors in Planner are referred to different labs, it could be nice to have the possibility of filter by colors.

Individual Planner to combine all tasks from all teams into one calendar view
Currently you can view calendar at team level but not at individual level.
Would be great if you had calendar view of all your tasks assigned to you from every team (or selected teams) at individual level so that one can plan week / month properly.

Custom Planner Fields
Allow Planner customization similar to Tasks on an SP site.
For example, we would like to have a Priority field that we can customize with our own priorities choices. another one would be a Person field "Requested By", or a hyperlink field, or customize the Progress field to add "Waiting for Someone Else".
You get my drift...36 votes -

creating tasks in planner for teams by drag and drop from outlook
It would be great to create a Task out of an E-Mail from Outlook.
Drag a mail and drop it into the planner tab should create a new task.35 votes -
Allow Planner tasks to be assigned & flagged "private"
so that only assigner and assignee can see the task, even though the task "lives" in a Team Planner. One of my VPs would like to use Teams but has a need to assign Directors with tasks that his other Directors should not see. He's using Outlook tasks for now but he'd like to have it all in one place.
