Show label colors on planner calendar
The current planner calendar in teams does not show the task highlighted with the color of the label that it is assigned to. This only gives an all white calendar that is difficult to see items by type, priority, or if they are at risk. Example is attached.

Yes, my organization DEFINITELY needs to see label colors in the Schedule view. One of our partners insists on it.

Would love to see an update on this! We are trying to promote Planner in our organization - I have a user who won't create their solution with Planner because they can't see the label colors in the Schedule view.

Agree with all of the comments below. It is a required feature indeed. We need to see the coloured labels in the Schedule view.

Supporting all below comments! It's definitely a required feature!
Since there are colour coded labels, they just need to "speak" with the schedule view; I'm sure it's not that complicated to set it.
Thanks for your work on that in advance! You'd make many people happier :) -

I am amazed to see this request (as I was trying to find a how-to on Google) has been made so often and for so long. It is an absolute necessity to have the colour of the labels shown in the task planner in order to have overview on your tasks.
The only, and silly, workaround would be to rename the tasks showing the names of (or codes referring to) the labels. I tried it and looks like a mess.
So dear developers at Microsoft, please listen to your experienced customers and users. Especially when it comes to features, like this one, that one just can’t imagine not to be there. Again, I was truly amazed to learn that this feature is not available …

100% agree. Need the tasks in the calendar view to adopt the label colour we assign to them. We need to see at a glance what is going on in a month, week and day. At my job, we use MS 365 and I keep having to go to google because of missing feature. It sucks to chose between integration (which I would have if I were using nothing but MS apps) and productivity (ie. colour coding and other features)

MS, you continue to suck. These half built apps with rubbish entry-level issues and no governance.

Please add this feature! I migrated from Trello to Microsoft Planner because of the similarities. But I was sad to learn that there are no color labels on the calendar view. Adding this feature would make a world of a difference for content planners!

It has been 2.5 years since this basic feature was first requested... I find that rather ridiculous.

Yes, we would like to use planner as content scheduling tool. Including labels, buckets and priority on the Schedule cards is needed.

Please please ad coloured labels to schedule view AND allow to show on the outlook calendar integration, and while you're at it please allow native outlook integration instead of ical feeds, (so slow to load) in Schedule view allow for more than one task to show, email to/from board functions, multiple checklists in tasks instead of just one, assign individual checklist items, and most importantly, Start & Due TIMES on the tasks, not just dates. Am also a verteren Trello user like many others on this forum but my company has invested in O365 and I am really struggling with how little functionality & integration the MS apps allow. Light years behind.

As a veteran Trello user aiming to migrate to Planner this is a suprising shortcoming I did not expect. Thank you :)

This problem is the reason why I joined this forum.
Nothing in MS teams has bugged me as much as the option of setting labels with no effect on the calendar view.Please fix it!

Completely agree! This app would be infinitely more useful with visible label colors on the schedule.
