Hi Villafwelii,
Would recommend Microsoft To-Do if you are not already using it. Microsoft is currently working on this functionality as shown here on the To-Do user voice

As the task states 'Our team is currently working on an option to show Flagged Items from Outlook also in To-Do as task items'
Best, Chris

Thank you Christopher.
Is Microsoft replacing Task with To-do?
- Hi Villafwelii
To-Do replaced Wunderlist. AFAIK, it is not going to replace Outlook tasks, but rather it is an app that is designed for personal task management. A good synopsis can be found here: https://www.msoutlook.info/question/outlook-task-management-with-microsoft-to-do and even on Microsofts site at https://products.office.com/en-US/microsoft-to-do-list-app it is marketing as integrating Outlook tasks.
If you select here https://todo.uservoice.com/forums/597175-feature-suggestions/status/2172585 it will give you an idea of what Microsoft is working on and as you can see they are integrating it across the Office 365 stack to things like Cortana and for management with Intune.
Hope that clarifies,
Best, ChrisI noted that To-Do seems to be more for personal use. I am using Task for work.
Thank you Chris.
