Dean_Gross Dean we won't be copying the 'content' of the plan, just the structure. It is not intended to be a migration tool. We are focused on the 'template scenario' where I want to reuse the structure, buckets, tasks, checklists from one plan in a new plan. so we actually 'clean out' the plan and reset it to a 'blank' state.
sorry it doesn't help your problem 100%, but that is how it will work

Joanna Parkhurst Hi, thank you for the 'copy plan' feature in Planner - when will we be able to copy plans or even see plans created outside Teams when using the Planner app in Teams? ;)

Alison Harris Glad to hear you like the new feature! We're still exploring how this should behave in Teams, but definitely want to pursue this improvement. How would you use Copy plan in Teams?

Joanna Parkhurst Thank you Joanna. I need to create a Planner from within a channel in Teams to manage the creation of online courses. Each course has its own channel with Conversations, Notes, Files and Planner. In Planner I can now copy the 'master course creation plan' and all its associated tasks with the click of a single button (Thanks! ;) But I can't do this from within Teams, or indeed, select a duplicated plan from Planner - they don't appear on the selection list :'(
