Improved functionality for Planner comments
Please add all the functionality of conversations to comments in Planner. I'd like to be able to @ someone to make sure they see a comment, edit or delete a comment, and I'd like to be able to change notifications (other than email) for Planner.

Stop planner "Delete Plan" from deleting Teams team.
If you select "Delete Plan" in Microsoft planner, it also deletes the Team associated with that planner board.
We see this as a critical bug and have already had a large presentation delayed as a person accidentally deleted two important teams by deleting the planner boards via Planner.

saved messages added to Microsoft To-Do
Need away to bring saved messages into Microsoft To-Do or even Planner. Currently I have to review these saved items daily. Perhaps Cortana can leverage them as well? To me, these are follow-up items. But there's no way to get them out of Teams and into a to-do manager - Perhaps flow could handle this?

Attached link shown on task card must not use huge icon
As described in this forum post
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msteams/forum/all/teams-planner-links-showing-as-large-icons/4e757700-5fa9-4f0a-b400-b476f0c4ca1a
the layout of Planner task cards with an attachment of type "link" for which "Show on card" is ticked has changed for the worse recently.
The feature adds a clickable link with a small icon before it to the card. A few days ago, this was all it did, and we liked it.
Now, the icon is also used as the preview image, larger than the card itself (see screenshot), wasting precious screen space. There seems to be no way to disable the preview image (other than not showing the link on the…82 votes -
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!

Create a task for your To-Do or Planner from a chat/conversation in Teams
I would like to have the option to create a task for my To-Do from a chat or conversation in Teams. This way if I get an assignment trough Teams I can do an easy follow up. The same for a task in Planner.
Now I have to make the task manually while chatting with a colleague, or they will still send me an email so I can flag it.80 votes -
Add a setting to Planner buckets that automatically organises tasks in order of due date
I have a bucket in a Planner tab that is populated with many tasks, and I have to keep manually dragging these into order of due date. This is because Teams places the task entries at the top of the bucket by default.
So a setting to automatically order all tasks within a particular bucket relating to a certain property would remove the need to manually reposition tasks as they are added. You could have them ordered in due date for example, which is what I am after, or alternatively in order of start date, label colour or progress.

start a conversation about planner task
Start a conversation about a Planner Task
When you have a Planner Board setup within your team you can have a conversation about the whole board. But since this board is likely to contain dozens, if not hundreds, of Planner Tasks having a generic conversation on all of them is quite cumbersome. Within a Planner Task you can comment, but these are sent as emails to the group and are not showing up in he Channel Chat.
What would make Planner really work for us is when you can start a conversation in Teams about a Planner Task. just as…

copying tasks in teams
If I have a number of similar tasks, it would make me more productive if I could just copy & paste (or duplicate) a fully populated one, rename it, and tweak the details to fit.

A Planner bot, that you can use to create new tasks to channel's Planner (if there is only one) or to your personal planner tasks.

hi, one interesting thin of to-do is the functionality "My Day", this is not included in the new planner+tasks app in teams

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…

Show all planner assigned tasks in Outlook To-Do List
I would like to see all tasks assigned in all plans to me in the outlook To-Do List. This way people would also be able to set reminders to start working on tasks with set start/due dates... also outlook would become a sort of dashboard with all you have to do again....

Make a post or comment Actionable
Had an interesting use case pop up today -- one of my team members sent a review request as an email to the team with a link to a Teams-based document. When I asked why she sent an email, she said she considers email to be more "visible" than things in Teams, and that sometimes things are lost in Teams.
Further investigation concluded that if we had the ability to convert conversations or bits of conversations into actionable items and add reminders/notifications to those somehow, the tool would be infinitely easier to use.
I think it is critical to have…

Scroll bars are very difficult to see in Planner window
I need to scroll horizontally in a Planner window. It took several days for me to finally see there is a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the screen. Contrast needs to be better
