I found another limitation...

Checklist items cannot have more than 100 characters.

Coming from Trello to Planner, I can certainly understand the frustration in this thread.

Yeah, i have found checklist limitation very fast when started using Planner. I guess it is designed for "Get milk" type of checklists..

    Any work being done to improve performance with respect to scrolling through a plan with 50+ buckets all of which have from 1 - 9 tasks and each task has an average of five checklist items each and each task has two labels assigned - this is using the latest chrome browser on a machine with 32GB ram and 8 core processor and high end video card and 1 GB connection our network, scrolling perf is abysmal at times as is opening tasks. I usually have to wait for things to load and it will appear at times as if data has gone missing from the bucket only to appear after a minute or two of it being open.

    Anyone seeing this?

      There is a continued focus on performance HustleFlow .  Just because you have a 1GB connection to the network doesn't mean that speed goes all the way to the Office 365 services.  Can you tell specifically what is slow to load?  F12 dev tools in any browser can show you what is coming over the network.  I'll check with the team on specific improvements coming for scrolling and task opening.

      Best regards,

        Brian,

        When I click on the plan with the 50+ buckets (and configuration I described), it takes a few minutes for everything to load in the plan and then a bit longer when I start clicking on tasks and then a bit longer to let the data in the task to load.

        As I mentioned, scrolling left or right can bog down until I let everything completely load.

        I don’t see these issues on any other sites and I’ve confirmed I have tasks.office.com whitelisted in my ad blocker. I should note this is easily reproducible across every machine in our environment.

      That would be very annoying. Have you tried with other browsers? Edge or even IE. Maybe Firefox.
