REQUEST - Be able to Paste images into Notes and Comments field!
This is must! Tools like Trello already have this and this actually is stepback for some people wanting to migrate. They see that they can't paste images, they go to Trello.

Still waiting on this...I would have transitioned to planner by now if you had made this edit. Seems like you should just hijack your teams chat interface and it would be perfect.
It seems the links to upvote no longer work - or at least for me. Has this moved?
Thanks
Yeah, looks like MS removed it. I don't understand that -- they generally leave requests up, even ones they don't plan to do, so not sure what to make of that.
Fortunately, there's a new version that had already gained enough votes to be on p. 2 by the time I saw it: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/6becaa63-e3f3-ee11-a73d-6045bd841c15
no it should be the same link as before
- it's july 18, 2024, #Microsoft still no progress on this request.
For everyone who is looking for this, there is a request for this feature on the Planner Feedback page. It's currently at the bottom of page 2 (so not terribly far behind the top requests), but with a few more votes, it could easily climb to page 1 and be harder for them to ignore.

Posted more than 4 years ago and Microsoft is still not able to implement such a small change which would make life for most of the users much easier. Poor service Microsoft!!!
Totally need to agree to this - it is just such a poor user experience compared to trello. It can't be that much of an effort to have the possibility to edit text and copy paste images out of the snipet tool - by the way also a MS product 🙂
- Definitely a requirement for a proper Kanban solution
- I can't believe there is no progress in four years... That spoils my motivation in our current migration to Office 365. (Same as missing @mentions in OneNote)
00thomson, we may be getting closer to MS doing this. We're halfway up the second page of hottest feature requests to MS. Just 21 more votes (7 less than a few weeks ago even as other requests also received up-votes) to reach page 1 of their requests.
If this still matters to you, and you've not already voted, please consider voting for it and getting your colleagues to vote for it here: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/cd2c8f5e-5421-ee11-a81d-0022484cae1d
There is no guarantee that just because it reaches page 1 they'll address it, but it significantly increases the likelihood, especially if our comments make it clear how and why we need it. Probably helps to keep them constructive and actionable too.
00thomson we migrated to the new "To Do" tool a couple years ago, however, it has the exact same issue. You still can't paste images or snippets into the Add note field.
- It seems like Microsoft really screwed up the architecture of this, using a text field instead of a field that can hold images and other non-text formatting and objects. I believe they carried this design over from the text fields associated with Tasks in the very powerful Microsoft Project. But where that was acceptable in Project due to its timeline and % complete focus, it's completely broken in a Planner app, which is designed from the start to work like a Scrum or Kanban Board.
This is why their first step to addressing this was to add the ability to include formatting (Bold, Italic, etc.) into the main description field, BUT they still haven't made any updates to the Comments fields. I think they must still be years away from actually fixing this critical deficiency compared with competing solutions like Asana, Trello, Jira, and every other Scrum or Kanban style project management system on the market.
- Get this done already!!!
- This is still needed and relevant 3 years later. I don't see any movement, but it's as needed as ever. Anyone have a workaround to this?
jbriere87 we had to switch to Notion and Miro
