Planner Task History

I think this question has been asked before some time ago, but is there any way of getting Planner task history using OData Microsoft Graph?

    I just found an easy workaround that doesn't directly solve your question, but may assist you. With our license, we can use Power Automate within Microsoft Teams at my org. I create a channel, like "Our Work" where I put the plan in Planner as a tab. Then I use Power Automate to create two flows, one for when a task is created in Planner, and one for when a task is completed in Planner, where the flows post to this channel in Teams. It's not perfect, but it does give a list of tasks created and completed for some record of the times. This is very helpful for managers.

      Sorry...overlooked this...yes...you could trigger an event and capture these in a database. Would be so much easier if it were a native feature. Thanks!

    Hey Gerald,
    Could you find any news regarding this topic? I´d imagine with Flow or Graph a solution is possible, but before heading into it, maybe there´s some easier solution I oversaw.

      Sorry..overlooked this.  No, I didn't find anything.  I have also discovered that even if Planner sat on CDS there isn't an easily available history table there, since you need the XRMToolkit utility to access history tables.  Good luck!

  • Sorry ghdunn - there isn't a change log for tasks that you can access.  If you subscribe to Group and have notifiactions set then you will certainly have some history of changes in your inbox - but I appreciate that isn't quite what you are looking for.

     

    Best regards,

     

    Brian.

      Hi jcgonzalezmartin 

      I mean every version the Task creates.  So if I create a task and assign it to myself and save, an then assign it to a colleague and save, that would be two versions.  I would like to be able to see all changes either through versions of the task in a table, or some kind of change log.

       

      Thanks

        ghdunn - it would be great to have history, or at least a log showing who touched the task last.
