Planner in Teams - users are missing in the assignment filter

Hello,

 

we use the Planner in a channel in Teams. The problem is that two users are not selectable in the filter "Assignment". They simply do not appear in the list of users. I checked everything in the Microsoft 365 admincenter and could not find any irregularities. Now I had the idea to open the Planner via https://tasks.office.com - and there the two users that cannot be filtered in Teams appear in the assignment filter. So my question is how can I bring these users back to the assignemt filter of Planner in our Teams channel? I hope someone has an idea how to fix this problem.

    I found a solution: I removed many functional accounts from the team, which weren't real users. Now we are able to filter all users in the planner assignemt filter. I assume that there is a limit of users which are visible in the filter. Maybe you also have a lot of users in your team.

    raspberrypi Do you have any tasks assigned to those users in that plan? In case no, please try assigning tasks and try filtering.

      SanthoshB1Yes, there are several tasks already assigned to both users.

      So I can exclude this as a cause. Furthermore there are some users in the assigment filter, which don't have any assigned tasks.

      Unfortunately the problem remains. Still hoping someone from the community has a solution for this.
