Create an option to connect multiple related tasks and adjust due dates automatically. E.g. After person A completes task X, person B has 2 weeks to complete task Y, which triggers a 1 week timeline for person C to complete task Z. We have a large team of individuals and many due dates are somewhat flexible - but tied to the completion of other tasks. This would prevent us from having to adjust due dates on a string of tasks because one was delayed. It would also ensure a person is not prompted to complete a task until the connected required task is completed.

At present, if you want to use all the variance functions in Planner(labels/assignment/due dates) this makes each individual task at least 5 rows long (a square as opposed to a row) and therefore you can only fit 6ish on a page (going down).

I would like the option to use all of the extra functions but with the option to collapse them (similar to 'show on card' feature for notes) so there is an option for me to only see the task name and I can find all other information once I click into it. This would allow me to see much more task items on one page.

Add the option of copying an existing plan when creating a new plan tab. Now you have the option of creating a new plan or using an existing one.

It was not clear to me that when using the existing plan that it was simply creating another view on to that plan. I found out after i had deleted 15 important tasks (from what I thought was the copy) and now everyone is P.o'ed at me. (especially because of not being able to restore tasks)

It would be useful to be able to copy a plan structure without necessarily copying the tasks. We want all 3 teams to use teams in the same way. with the same buckets and labels and rules for when and who to assign. etc

I cannot believe how difficult it is to edit plans with Planner. Power Automate helps, but it can only update a very limited number of fields.

I am working with 200+ items in my plans and I would like to have the ability to make the following edits "en masse" (i.e., using Power Automate):
1. Change Labels
2. Delete tasks and buckets
3. Add and edit steps
4. Sort tasks and buckets

Power Automate is clunky, not very robust (very easy to run into errors in your scripts) and very slow. I believe there is plenty of room to improve it.

Alternatively, these edits could be possible by selecting several items at once in the Planner tab. It is amazing that it is not standard - it is just conventional MS Office stuff.

Thanks.

Not sure why Planner placed an upper limit on how many people can be assigned a specific task, but the current max is 11 assigned team members. This creates an issue when the specific task needs to be completed by more people. One option is copy the task so each person has their own task (too time consuming), raise/remove the 11 person limit (seems feasible), or create named groups of people within the given team (more efficient). These team-specific named groups would make assigning tasks in Planner for that team much easier. There would also need to be a way to show if each person that was assigned finished the task (e.g. 4 out of 7 assigned this task have completed it, 2 out of 7 are in progress, 1 out of 7 has not started this task)
