Move planner tasks to another team
We have created a planner tab in most of our teams. Sometimes a task on the plannerboard has to be moved to another team (e.g. next step on a task has to be executed by a different team), which now has to be done by deleting the task in the original team and adding one in the other team with copying data from the original task.
Possible solution: when editing a task it displays the teamname and bucketname in the left top. When you click on the name you can select a different team (only teams you are subscribed to), select a bucket within that team and optional select a member to assign the task to and click on a move button

Good news, this feature is partially done. :)
Planner tasks can now be copied to other plans. To copy a task, click on the “…” menu on the task. From there, you can select a different plan to copy the task to.

So, you can still not copy a Template of Tasks from a Plan to another Plan in a different Team? We create Teams by Project, also because the user authorization is by Team, so this functionality is NEEDED otherwise we need to copy a Plan of 20 Buckets and 30 Tasks manually?

What a stupid application that we pay a lot of money for!! There's no drag/drop option and notes and other data i not copied. There should be a MOVE and BULK MOVE option. Really Microsoft?????

How do you add the copied plan from the planner hub to a channel in Teams?

Any update on when we can copy an entire plan over to another team and not just one task at a time?

Reference comment below, copying individual tasks is not a partially done in my eyes, this would take forever (now if it was copying buckets that's a different story) is there anymore progress on this,

..Not only would it be nice to Move a Task from one Team\Planner to another Team\Planner ..but also have the ability to MOVE a Task from ONE Channel to another Channel within the SAME Team - without having to copy the task to the new Channel\Bucket and then delete it from the old Channel\Bucket.... (a drag and drop functionality with the ability to "copy here" or "move here" would be nice within the desktop view or web view too :)

Once a Planner board has been created for a channel, it sems to be impossible to move it between teams.
A workaround is to create the new board in the new team, open Planner via the Office Hub (where you would see ALL your boards) and COPY tasks one by one from the previous board into the new one (right-click on task).
However, copying does NOT include comments and attachments ... -

Great to see that tasks can be copied to other plans! Now we just need a way to add/move/copy a plan that was created directly in Planner into a specific Team or Teams.

Just a quick comment for you.
I removed a plan from a chanel (not deleting it!) and created a new plan in another chanel. I chose 'using an existing plan' - and from the dropdownlist I used the one I removed in the previous step, and all tasks etc was there. -

The number of votes is not reflecting the demand for this. People in my company ask for this all the time!

There are some planner tab (tasks) that start their life in one team but for any amount of different reasons grows into something else and either needs to be shifted to its own\different channel or within another group. Any ability to shift the entire tasks tab to another channel\team would be welcomed.

This would be a great function to implement!
Due to collaboration between teams it would be less administration to create new "local" tasks in each team area and instead send it to the team & assignee that should handle it -
