In the "Board" view in Tasks by Planner and To Do, users can use the buckets to create custom Kanban boards. However, if more than one channel share the plan, the only way to distinguish which tasks belong to each channel is to manually enter the channel name in the title of the task. If the name of the channel could be programmed to appear with the task in "Board" view, it will increase the utility of using Planner in Teams because teams that have multiple channels could work from a single custom Kanban board.

My proposal is similar to what already exists in the "My Tasks" view in the online version of Planner in Office 365. There, users see a board composed of tasks which can be moved between three categories: Not Started, In Progress, and Completed. Each has the name of the channel plan from Team in the top right corner. I am proposing the same thing with two differences: 1) the name of the "channel" would appear instead of the name of the channel's plan, and 2) the name of the "channel" will appear only when two or more channel are sharing a plan in Teams.
