Client List in Planner
Interested to know what solution you came up with. The limit of 25 labels still exists 3 years later!
Fellow Canadian, Otto.
Hey Otto,
My solution was to no longer use Planner LOL Probably not what you wanted to hear 😆
I dug into PowerApps instead to accomplish the task I had before me, and built a workflow app. SharePoint is where the data lives for the app. I'm currently working on the next iteration of this app but now testing the waters of Dataverse instead of SharePoint, to hold our data. READ: PowerApps was so much better at addressing our needs for workflow than Planner could ever hold a candle to, that we are digging into PowerApps even more.
Having said all that, I have not used Planner since that time and thus cannot speak to it's current functionality. Once we switched to PowerApps and away from Planner, we haven't looked back.
Best,
Kristine
Thanks Kristine! Makes sense building a complete custom solution just need to make sure someone keeps maintaining it I suppose. SharePoint Lists are great for storing data and smart to move to Dataverse.
You're welcome, Otto! And regarding the 'maintaining it' piece, that would also be me 😁 It's been a huge amount of work--as I suspect you can well appreciate--but definitely worth it.
