Copy link to task does not work in Teams
Unfortunately, your observation is little better than https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/1096211-it-works-on-my-machine-funny-computer-programmer-d.
I'll point it out, again. From the Planner web page, copying the link works just fine.
From the Teams/Planner add on tap, a 'Copy Link' only copies the subject line.
To anyone who has had this experience and has some useful advice, I would be grateful if you would share it.
If the collective wisdom is 'you already have your work-around', I'll stop wasting my time.

Richard Deighan if I understood it right from your message, you have still problem with it? Or you do not have? I agree that copying the link works fine from the tasks.office.com. It also works now from Teams, when you click on the button "copy link", it provides you copying the subject, yes, I agree but when I paste it to conversation, everybody can click on it and check the task... My issue is solved...

So the clarification seems to be that from the Planner App within Teams, when getting a link to a task and then using Ctrl-c, the link is only generated if pasted into a Teams conversation. Trying to paste into something else like email or another chat service does not work, as it just pastes the title text. However, after pasting the link into a Teams conversation, it is possible to then copy that link and use it however desired. Does that seem to match everyone's experience?
Not sure why the Planner App within Teams link couldn't be implemented to result in something usable directly outside of Teams.
