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.
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.
jdrapialt It is a shame though because Planner does have a few nice features. I like attaching documents directly to a Planner task and the checkboxes for subtasks are nice.
I did see that Project for the web is now included in my subscriptions so I might check that out but I don't know if it is more suited for large projects.
