Not receiving Planner comments in Outlook inbox
Hope the below post will give more info if you have not already checked.
I am so irritated about the stupidity of the solution presented by MS that I even created an account to comment on this.
We are currently moving from a tool called Teamwork to Planner and my workaround for this oddly stupid problem will be the following:
1. Creator adds a task
2. Every person involved must post a comment
This way, everybody who the task has been assigned to, will follow the progress and get updates on comments. Mentioning people directly using @ would work, too. Hopefully, MS will get this fixed or integrated in MS Tasks.
optimaly I am losing hope that they will ever fix this. MS keeps releasing new apps without fixing the old ones.
Jason Drew Supposedly Microsoft Lists will replace Planner. I think planner will be eventually discontinued.
- I think you better move to MS Lists, as apparently it will replace Planner and I don't think any of those issues will ever be fixed and Planner will be discontinued.
jdrapialt Oh, ok. I wasn't under the impression that Lists was supposed to replace Planner. I thought Lists was more for tracking inventory and other things that are compatible with a list format.
Jason Drew I know, I have the same doubts, but apparently this is were things are going and it kind of makes sense. I will have to see if I can adapt to MS Lists, as I don't have experience with Airtable, Monday.com or anything like that. Planner would be really great by only finxing notifications and permisions but I am losing hope this will ever happen and I am definately not implementing something with such incredible flaws in my department.
optimaly did this every get solved? This is insane!!!! I too am having extreme issues. What is the point of assigning any task, if the assignment doesn't include comments?
What is more frustrating is that this feature is working for one team and not working for another??? Will these types of insane issues ever get solved??
