Date problem when synchronising Planner and Oulook
Hello,
I have a little problem:
When I create a task in Planner that doesn't have a start date (but only an end date), a start date appears in Outlook when I synchronise. This start date corresponds to the day I saved the task.
This causes reading difficulties (see photo).
Thank you in advance for your help

Hi eke4831,
you can try and add a start date to your task in Planner. This will ensure that Outlook and Planner are in sync and that your tasks are displayed correctly in both applications.
To add a start date to a task in Planner, follow these steps:
- Open Planner and go to the board where your task is located.
- Click on the task to open it.
- Under the Start Date field, click on the date picker to select a start date for your task.
- Click Save.
Once you have added a start date to your task in Planner, it will automatically sync with Outlook and the start date will be displayed correctly in both applications.
Here is a link to a Microsoft support article that provides more information on how to synchronize Planner tasks with Outlook:
