How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Allow direct file attachment to Planner Tasks in TEAMS

Provide ability to attach a document to a Planner Task from your Desktop (like you can do in a SP task).  Today, you have to upload the document into Teams first, then open your Planner Task and then attach by referencing the previously uploaded document.

    I am trying to implement processes and workflows in our organization using MS teams and other MS products. When I come to blockers/bugs like this it really makes me question the viability of Teams and using it for anything other than a glorified messaging app. If the feature is available for web version, it should be available in the app.

    TOTALLY agree with this. Although it is possible by using Planner via web, it should be a standard feature. Very, very annoying.

    On Planner, you can only upload documents from SharePoint or add internet links. This creates extra work. Please enable Planner to upload directly from the PC or OneDrive. Thank you.

    I guess this used to be available but is gone in a recent update? Some team members can still *sometimes* use this feature. I don't understand why this ever went away

    Hi - I'm a newbie here, so please be kind :) Is there an 'Undo" feature anywhere for a task in a bucket that was accidentally marked as "Completed" ?

    Thanks in advance....

    Adding on here. These kind of usability hurdles kill adoption of these of tools for employees who are already wary of new things. Trello is Planner's biggest competitor and allows you to drag-and-drop attachments directly into a task. Inexcusable that Microsoft can't have feature parity on its own OS.

    For an example, see this comment box, it also allows an attachment with a comment. It makes the comment useful and picture stays with the comment. This will be a very useful feature. Please add this on teams task.

    Agreed. I have multiple users asking for this. The lack of this ability forces them to use planner directly, instead of just using Teams client.

  • Mahalia Mills commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Without the ability to add attachments easily to the task in Planner, it makes the app useless. We use Planner for software testing and attach screenshots to the task. Having to upload the screenshots to the Files area makes no sense as they would be completely irrelevant there.

    I had to use the web version to use it properly. You should make all web functions available in the app.

    This feature is a must have. It's very inconvenient to work like this with files for Office 365 planner tasks within Microsoft Teams.

  • Carmen commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    A collaboration tool is about ease of use, sending people to Online defeats the purpose.

  • Lance commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes, please add file upload capability directly from a planner task from desktop. Obvious feature gap that should be resolved.
