How to manage recurring tasks in Planner?
chrisarmstrong Hi, what's the link to check the status for recurring tasks? It's something we have been desperately waiting for, and I'm contemplating if we should just build it via Power Automate, instead of waiting for this feature to be implemented by Microsoft.
It can be done with Power Automate, but it's clunky to set up, and has a crippling limitation for long-term tasks. The task must occur more often than once every 90 days or so or else it will automatically be stopped. This makes it useless for things like annual renewal reminders, for example.
This can be worked around by using more complex date evaluation logic, but that defeats the entire purpose, because it must be done for each task.
And of course, Microsoft could decide to discontinue the product at any time, so there's that.
