Missing functions in Planner for a Project Manager
Looking at integrating Planner as the company project management tool. One big issue is you can't create your own templates of a standard project plan. You can by pass this by creating a plan and naming it template and then coping when required. The biggest frustration is the inability to reset the now copied plan to a new start date without manually going into every task.
Takes way to much time, can't integrated Planner until this is resolved. This function is in MS Project so why not Planner? Has anyone found a work around that does not involve Flow?

Add it to the list upon lists of Planner...someone really botched this rollout. I think Microsoft is investing more in Copilot and dumped all the other Teams, hoping Copilot would fix it all, but it continues to disappoint.
And even basic functionality.
If you have to reset every date in your plan in Planner Premium when you copy a project then you need to start using dependencies. That's the point, you change the start date (or some other date) and all the other dates in the plan move accordingly based on the durations of the tasks. You also need to make sure there are no constraints on any of your tasks so they can move freely as needed.
