Tasks Reappear Every Day
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!
Create a 'My week' just like 'My day'
There is an other request (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-to-do/feature-request-add-to-my-day-tomorrow/m-p/1930251) to create 'My Tomorrow' section, but for me it would be more useful to create a plan for the week and generate the 'My day' content from there. The 'My week' would include elements that I want complete or focus during the workweek. 'My week' could be the name, but it is more like a container that can gather elements from multiple lists to show what is my current focus for a longer period than 1 day.Any plans for a macOS widget?
Hi team, Are there any plans to bring a native macOS widget to Microsoft To Do? The iOS widget is super useful, and having something similar on macOS would make it much easier to check off tasks or add new ones without opening the full app. Would love to see this feature in a future update! Thanks!
