How to manage recurring tasks in Planner?
I would like to use Planner to monitor the implementation of an IT team's production plan. Indeed, a production plan is a set of planned tasks - not necessarily assigned to someone but rather to a team. These tasks are often recurring: daily (for example, checking backups) or monthly (deploying security patches).
I could not understand how I could introduce the notion of recurring task directly or indirectly into Planner. I eventually considered that the calendar of the team concerned could contain recurring events that could be transformed into tasks via FLOW.
But I didn't manage to get to the end of that idea.
Thank you for your help if you have already done so or have other ideas.

- Unfortunately Planner does not provide this capability out the box so if you need this, you have to ideate a solution to be able to have recurring tasks in Planner...Flow could help here
