Phantom notifications for a deleted task.
I had a recurring task (once weekly) that I deleted. I deleted the whole thing, the task doesn't exist anymore and doesn't re-occur. However, I still get the MacOS push notifications every week telling me I have that task due. If I click the alert it opes ToDo but doesn't go to the task (it can't, since it doesn't exist!). If I mark it as complete from the notification then next week the push notification arrives again. Somewhere in the backend the notification push didn't get deleted when the task was deleted and now I can't get rid of this notification! It's not device specific, the alert is pushed to any device I'm signed into with ToDo. Does anyone have a suggestions as this really irks me.
Need Filter Option to Show Tasks with No Due Date + Today Tasks in Planned > Today View
I would like to see an option in the Planned > Filter Options to include tasks with No Due Date. That way you can have a task that just "rolls over" from one day to the next which may not necessarily be something you consider "overdue" but still want to see it shown on the Today view.

Issue: The "My Day" side pane in Outlook calendar web not showing assigned tasks added to My Day
I want to use the neat drag-and-drop feature announced here for tasks assigned to me in Planner. Steps to recreate: In Planner, a task gets assigned to me In the To Do web app, I can see this task in "Assigned to Me", add it to "My Day" In the To Do web app, the task is now in "My Day" Actual behavior: The assigned task added to "My Day" in To Do web is not shown in the Outlook Web "To Do - My Day" side pane. Expected behavior: In the outlook calendar web app, I should be able to see this "assigned" task added to "My Day", in the side-pane which allows drag and drop. Better yet, the "assigned to me" list could show up as one of the "To Do" dropdown options. Because of this issue, I am not able to time-block for tasks assigned to me from Planner. Same problem found here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/help-showing-my-planner-tasks-in-the-my-day-pane/430855d3-1da8-4244-aa86-8e91272818c8 This is definitely a loose thread in the feature. Any idea if this could be implemented? Or how to get this feedback through to Microsoft? Thanks! SheetalSethi Ayan_Chakraborty Akshay_Kumar
Sharing Groups
Is it possible to share at Group level in To Do? Or only at List level? I want to make my company departments Groups and share with the relevant people, then categorise each dept into Lists in which I'd assign tasks. It seems I have to share each List to achieve this, which is tedious.
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?!
ToDo dosen´t synchronize right
Hey guys, I need your help with a specific Microsoft ToDo problem. I use ToDo via the Program for Windows 10, via the Outlook integration, as well as via the App for IOS. I'm, of course, logged in with the same account, but it seems like ToDo dosen´t synchronize right between the IOS program & the Windows 10 program on one side and the Outlook integration on the other side. When I add a list or task in the Outlook integration, it doesn´t appear in the other 2 programs at all (and the other way around). It seems like both programs work completely independently, almost as if I use two different accounts. Does anybody know help? Thanks, guys ;)ToDo dosen´t synchronize right

Hi everyone, I have a handful of tasks (5-6) that reappear every day in my "Planned" view when I open To Do in my browser. I have to mark them all as "completed" every day to get them to go away. They aren't tasks that are set to "repeat," so I'm not sure why this is happening. They show up as "earlier" because the deadline for them was months ago, which is also when I first marked them as complete. I rely on the browser version because my work admin does not allow the software to be downloaded. Thanks! P
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.Steps should show up on a TO DO list!
I love the functionality of using "steps" within a task in "TO DO." However, when observing my tasks on my task list, I think it would be helpful to be able to see the steps underneath the task. The step list wouldn't need to be as pronounced as individual tasks. They could show up small... like the "1 of 3" steps completed notation shows up under the task... But being able to see the steps from the task list would be FANTASTIC.... Not to get picky, but it would be cool to be able to toggle the steps view on and off for a given task. (So maybe it shows up as a status (1 of 3 steps completed) but you could hit a drop down arrow that lets you see the list. Being able to check them off from that view would also be preferable. One last thought. Steps wouldn't necessarily have to disappear from the view (underneath the task) when they are completed... It would actually be helpful for them to remain listed (just like they do when you "expand a task" in case you complete steps in a different order. What I'm asking for is already present. The list of steps is visible when you click on a task. I just think it would be helpful if those steps could be visible ON the task list.Tags and categories in To Do
This is driving me crazy, as these things can do.... 1. Categories: MS To Do help pages say you can add categories - I cannot see how to do this in To Do for either Windows or Mac. I then try it in online To Do, and there is clearly an option to add categories!! Is it the case that you can only add categories in the web-based app?? And if so, why does Help not tell you this (rather than making me waste half an hour....) 2. Tags: is there any way of getting a LIST of tags?? All I can see is that you can type # in the search box and it throws up an unreadable display of all tasks that have a # in them, and you then have to search through to see what tags you used. This is of course nuts as you enter tags free form into a task, without a list of previously used tasks - so I now have unsearchable variations - #work, #works, #workday, etc. Help!
Missing Categories in Microsoft To Do Apps: Any Updates?
Hello everyone, I've been using the Microsoft To Do app and wanted to discuss an issue regarding the category/tag functionality in task lists. Recently, Microsoft introduced an update allowing the addition of customizable tags to each task within a list. I have successfully configured and assigned these categories via the web interface using a browser. However, I noticed that the categories/tags assigned through the web do not appear in the Microsoft To Do apps for Android, iOS, and Microsoft Store. This makes it challenging to find specific tasks when using these apps. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there any update on when this functionality will be synchronized with the mobile and Microsoft Store apps? Thanks in advance for your help!
