Planner task to Outlook (desktop) task

We recently attempted to make use of planner for a client and went through tech support and was told automatic calendar syncing to the members calendar group or even attaching the iCalendar can only be updated manually.  When you create a new planner, any members added automatically get a new group calendar associated to their user account.  This group calendar does not post any of planner's calendar items.  The only way to get planner calendar items it to manually attach the iCalendar/public publish and this would need to be done each time a change is made in planner. 

I mentioned to tech support that this seems to be either a deficiency in the product or a work in progress.  They said it was by design .    Then why even automatically attach a group calendar when creating a planner; to get hopes up 🙂
