Planner with Flow - issues with Group Id and Plan Id

I try to use Flows to create a list of Planner tasks.   When I use a predefined template (i.e. "Post messages to Microsoft Teams when a new task is created in Planner"), I can select the Plan Id in...

DanHuber, AFAIK you need to be an admin to read the O365 Group parameters. But the workaround is to manually enter the group id in the flow. The Plans will get listed once the group id is entered.

Is this a new feature?  Previous tasks I have created did not require the group id.  I went to modify my Flow and add another task and now group id is stopping me.  I am a Global Admin.

    James Nelson this change was introduced after Planner changed to accommodate multiple plans per group.  I think we are looking at the permissions issue reading Groups - but the GroupID from Url is a workaround I've used successfully.

    Best regards,

      Brian-Smith Is there any update for this issue? I've also met it when I tried to get use the Power Apps Planner connector. Some off the functions need to pass the groupid as the parameter, how should I get all of my planner group id?

        Ethan_Zhang the GroupID can be seen as the 'owner' field if you make a graph call to get the Planner plan with the PlanID - so a call to Graph like https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/planner/plans/<plan id here> will return:

        {
        "@odata.etag": "xxxxxx"",
        "createdDateTime": "2019-06-04T16:19:22.4969055Z",
        "owner": "14a58c41-3979-4057-babd-cc3f69b01d8b",
        "title": "Ready2019",
         
        And 14a58c41-3979-4057-babd-cc3f69b01d8b is the GroupId
         
        I hope that helps.  Requesting in the UserVoice for Power Automate may get the options fixed in Flow - but hopefully this workaround may help for now.

      Thanks Brian.  Makes sense.  I did grab the id from the URL and it worked fine so I'll adjust to it.  Just caught me off guard.  I'll look for the road map.
