Please make it possible to recover deleted tasks and buckets of tasks. Sometimes people do stupid things.

This idea is posted in the wrong place - the Planner developers aren't watching the Teams Uservoice forum. Vote for this idea in the Planner forum instead: https://planner.uservoice.com/forums/330525-microsoft-planner-feedback-forum/suggestions/16060894-add-recycle-for-deleted-tasks-in-plan

Hello.. Deleted a working task accidentally. Is it possible to recover it?
Can Microsoft create a 'DELETED' folder or something ? And at least give a second prompt before deleting it.

Copied a planner from one channel to a new one as it had Buckets and tasks that I needed to migrate.
In the new channel, I deleted the buckets and tasks associated with the old channel, but this deleted them in both places, not just the new channel, which now can not be recovered. Just po'd a lot of people. -

Yep, just typed out a long task description, went into edit something and managed to delete it. Pretty much any other Office365 product would allow me to recover at that point, so I presume other developers realise people make silly errors. I thought that was the whole point...

Would like different wording, but I support the actions behind the request.

We need this !! It's just amazing that we Don't have the possibility to recover deleted tasks.

Can we at least get a stop-gap to allow only the task owner to be able to delete a task (or bucket)?
Option 2: make a task unable to be deleted if anyone else is assigned to the task, or a bucket unable to be deleted if there are incomplete tasks in it.
People are deleting tasks they don't want to be notified about anymore as being late, and they are essentially on there as cc (which would be another great feature...put people on to 'follow' a task without them getting notified daily about it being late).

@Jim I agree - I'm using this as a live tool, and I am upset.

I agree, was just testing the planner as part of an idea manager and accident deleted a bucket on the phone. To bad there is now way to get the items back, if this was a live tool would upset a lot of of people.

A must have feature. Another big flaw in the world of Sharepoint/Planner/Teams - not suprised at all.

I just tested this and can securely say - I will not recommend anyone to use Teams Planner as long as there is no version control for the board items.
On top of that a Delete function without confirmation dialog and without Undo/RecycleBin would have been forbidden at Microsoft already in the age of Windows 3.1. It is unbelievable that such UX mistake is present in a Microsoft business product in 2019. This tool is not mature for production environment.
