Thank you Dave Heller.
Copy-paste on the roadmap is good news. Hope to see it land soon. Could it also be a cut-paste to move a task? Drag-and-drop may not be actually required, it would too clunky across plans anyway. "Move to" > "Select Plan" > "Select Bucket" should be good enough.
Regarding your note to Nicolas Maurel about "We want to enable users to view/edit plans created in Teams from the Planner web app [..]" - We are able to do that right now. There are three problems with that currently:
- We have to click "view in browser" from inside Teams and then it opens up in Planner. These plans are not available as direct links in the left-pane of Planner hub.
- The tasks however are visible directly under "My Tasks" from inside Planner, with a caption on second line indicating the plan it belongs to. Difficult to spot, but they are all there. Maybe a bit of coloring might help.
- When a plan from Teams is being viewed in Planner, then the name on the top banner is not changing, it continues to show the name of the root-planner-plan. Otherwise, we can view the board and chart quite well of all plans. The name causes confusion and loss of context.
- Changing the name of the root-planner-plan changes the name of the associated O365-Group as well. This shouldn't happen. For our "Marketing" group, we may want to use a different name for the root-plan, say "Marketing Milestones".
I do understand that all this is a work-in-progress and these will be sorted out in the coming days soon. It's been a good progress on Planner front.
