Conversations in new planner - did anyone get it to work?

Hi

In the new planner premium version, have anyone got the conversation field to work within a task ?
The link you find there now links to MS forum "Use the Project or Roadmap app in Teams" but is is for the old ms projects and to "add this plan to a channel" is now working at all.

 

The old planner, not premium, had the conversation field working fine...

    It works fine, you just have to add the plan to a Teams channel...

      the problem is you can create a conversation but it's not linked with a special task and you can't access to the conversation in the planner/project interface

        Conversations can be linked to a particular task if you use the plan within the channel ie invoked from the tab at the top rather via the Teams sidebar icon. It shows up in green if you have it right. Not intuitive at all I grant you...

      But it means, you have to create extra an channel for each Plan and jump to the channel each time, am I right?

    I switched to premium for the granularity of subtasks (dependencies), but it appears I have traded that functionality for the opportunity to chat with my team members about specific tasks through the comments feature (in the basic offering).  I think Planner premium could do everything I need if there was a way to maintain a conversation about an assigned task.

      i had also the same in mind. And also the power automation didn't work as the standard planner at all. at the end that means paying more for a different (not neccesarily better) product... Very disappointing
