All my unassigned tasks vanished overnight
Hi, about 300 of my unassigned tasks -those not on lists- vanished overnight. All of them. My tasks on lists seem to be all there. The previous day, I was doing cleaning on that list, since the android app stopped synching, and it was sluggish before that. I had over 50000 completed tasks on that list. I moved those 300 uncomplete tasks to a temporary list, deleted all completed tasks, then moved those 300 back, and deleted the temprorary list. I most definitely did not delete those 300 tasks in question, and I checked hours before going to bed and going to bed that on my phone, in the desktop app and in my desktop browser they were all present and in synch, and addings tasks was very snappy and synched across devices. Official chat was completely useless and I couldn't even reach or be connected to anybody in the correct department after banging my head against a wall for an hour. I have little hope of fixing this, but is there anything I can do, or should I just finally bail out of using this buggy mess of a software? Thanks
The details panel in Microsoft To Do is too narrow and I can't make it wider
A few months ago, something happened to my instance of Microsoft To Do. The "Details Panel" (I think that is the name) that appears on the right side of the screen when a task is selected is too narrow to even accommodate words more than a few letters long. (See photo) The only way I know to adjust this is to place the pointer along the border between the Details Panel and the Task List until it becomes a double arrowhead. However, while this feature ought to permit me to adjust the width of the Details Panel, it is now non-functional. Does anyone have any idea how can I fix this?Graph API 1.0 - Listing lists doesn't return all lists (todoTaskList)
Hi, first time posting here, please let me know if I should be doing something differently! I've searched throughout the internet and couldn't find a reason for this. I've got a couple of users running into a problem where the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/todo-list-lists?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http endpoint only returns one list (Flagged Emails), though these users have and see many other lists in the To Do desktop (macOS) app. I've confirmed in both cases it's the same user that's identified in my app/integration and in the desktop app. They can see the tasks in that list without a problem. There are no errors requesting that list, and asking via `/users/{id|userPrincipalName}/todo/lists` also returns the same response (with that one list). Is there any known situation where this could be happening? Am I missing something obvious? Is there something else I should be trying? I've got many other customers using the To Do integration without a problem. I'm aware "My Day" and a few other special lists aren't returned. Thank you so much!

Microsoft ToDo: Image/Picture insert from Clipboard #Bug
if I insert a pic from clipboard (source Irfan-view) the size in Microsoft ToDo is always up to 5 times greater then the saved picture to Filesystem. If I insert the pic from Filesystem, all good. Copy/Paste must be have a bug in MS-ToDo. e.g. 100KB-File pasting it shows and uses 1MB.
Sorting tasks into lists from “All” on mobile
I am not sure if I’m missing something, but is there an easy way to add tasks to a list from the ♾️ All list? I like to add tasks there then be able to add them to lists - I’m hoping to long press and add it to a list or select a list from a drop down when I click into the task. I’m aware of the sorting feature where you select multiple and add them to a list, but that is cumbersome when you only want to add one task to a list.
To Do SUCKS
I don't know who--or what team--designed To Do, but it is absolutely horrendous and is no replacement for Outlook Tasks, which gave you a FULL SCREEN to make notes, and it was easy to do (not pun intended) anything, but To Do opens a tiny window in the middle of the screen that CANNOT be resized, so you have a tiny, tiny pane on the right-hand side of this tiny screen to scroll up and down reading notes. It's beyond horrible. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE can someone at Microsoft go back to the drawing boards and make an app that fills the whole screen, can be resized, and is easy to use?!Make details pane switch to selected task automatically
Currently, I select a task and then have to click the "i in a circle" to have details pane switch from the previously-selected task. This means a user can have one task in focus but seeing the detail of another task. It's already lead to me making some errors in my task details. Makes it hard for quickly dealing with a lot of tasks, which I think is what this app is about. Thanks for considering!
Overdue tasks no longer appear in red in light mode
Last week I noticed that the "Overdue [Date]" text in overdue tasks no longer appears in red. I use light mode, and if I switch to dark mode that text will appear in red, but it reverts to black when I turn dark mode off. This is happening in the web app and if I go to the app in Outlook, but is not an issue on the desktop app.Steps initially show only first line of text
Currently and for the past year+ on Microsoft To Do Web, after selecting any List, the initial view of the Steps within a Task, only shows the first line of text in each Step. If I select a different Task within the same List and then reselect the original Task, the Steps within display all of the lines of wrapped text. This occurs using both MS Edge and Google Chrome. I rebuild my computer from a new Windows 11 ISO after stripping my SSD to zero partitions last week and this is still a problem. It would be really great if we could get this fixed.Microsoft ToDo Retention policy
When I add tasks to my ToDo lists through Outlook or the ToDo app, the tasks stay for about 2 weeks and then after that, they are moved into an online archive folder, but do not show up in the ToDo app. Is there a way to either: Change the retention policy to only move completed todo items to the archive. or Show all tasks from the online archive in the ToDo app. Currently, I have to manually move the uncompleted ToDo items from the online archive back to the original location. This is extremely inconvenient.Colours within task notes
Hello, I noticed that when copying text from elsewhere, it does copy the colors, but I cannot find any way of replicating this myself. Are there tags or markers to use to be able to use colours (red or green or blue) when writing? It does seem like the notes can support them since they do stay without any issue when copied from elsewhere. Thanks for your helpTo Do: scrolling bug
You can’t scroll all the way down in longer notes anymore in the Android app. The keyboard covers part of the note. I already tried to update it an reinstall it. Many users have this problem. This makes the app almost unusable. I'm on OneUi 7. I attached a screenshot with a transparent keyboard.
Feature Asymmetry
Does anyone else find the feature asymmetry between the web & android versions to be a little odd? Also everything feels stagnant like all the To Do engineers moved to the Copilot Team (haha, but no really :) Categories is the biggest oddity. It's been on web to-do for years now. Then there's the sorting differences between web & android. Android actually has more sorting capabilities? That seems wierd. And last but not least... The web version kinda retained the old (and quite magical) "To Do" view of: Today Tomorrow This Week Next Week (this was so useful, why'd you remove it?!? Later What I struggle with is these are core features to task management as they exist on every other platform, and they all originally existed in Outlook! Strange that the phone l app and the web app (presumably using the same back-end APIs) have such different usability.
Email notifications when a new TO DO task is assigned to me?
Hi, I just started using Microsoft To Do as a shared task manager with my team and we created a shared list of tasks so we can all be on the same page. However, I'm trying to figure out if it's possible for team members to receive an EMAIL notification when a there is a new task assigned to them. I did turn on notifications for "shared list activity" but I'm not receiving any notifications or emails. Any insight would be much appreciated!Microsoft To Do: Problems with the Bell Sound
I love this app. It's easy to use and the sound it makes when I complete a task is amazing. My sounds have recently stopped working however and I am very disappointed. No matter how many times I turn them on and off in the preferences there is no change in the app. Does anyone have any recommendations? The number one reason I use this app is because of the sounds it makes. I use it with an iMac (my os is Catalina) in case this can help.
