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.

  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.
