Customize Planner tasks?

Is it possible (maybe in the future) to customize the Tasks in Planner? We would like to add couple of fields/properties to the Tasks.

Teemu StrandWill you be able to add custom fields like "Requested by" and why does the text input box have no extra formatting tools like this box has?

    TomA26 It is not possible to include additional fields in Planner. But for your case, "Requested by" is as same as the creator of the task? Also, there is no rich text editor available and not sure if MSFT will provide this. Optionally you can use third-party tools to create and update custom fields in Planner.

      SanthoshB1No the person requesting can and most likely will be different from the creator. Can you tell me a trusted vendor for 3rd party tools for customizing?
