REQUEST - Be able to Paste images into Notes and Comments field!
Not being able to paste pictures on Microsoft Planner is a significant drawback for users who rely on visual aids for effective communication and task management. Without image support, tasks and comments lack the clarity and context that pictures provide, potentially leading to misunderstandings and reduced productivity. I am not using it as much as I could because of this downside.
Microsoft please listen!
Yeah, absolutely agree on the importance and the use-case that requires it: visual aids for task feedback. In our case, for software development, we need to include screen shots with almost every comment.
The net effect of this being missing from Planner is even worse for us in terms of usage. Because our users require this ability, they won't use Planner, and w/o Planner, that means they need something else, and most of those other tools link well with competing systems to Teams (like Jira in place of Planner and Slack in place of Teams and Confluence over OneDrive), so this failure prevents us from moving everyone over to Teams and OneDrive. It's costing MS a lot of potential license sales from our organization.
Worst of all is how close Planner is to being amazing. And Teams Chat already does this PERFECTLY. The ONLY feature Planner is lacking from our perspective (I know other users may have other needs) is the ability to paste images into the initial description and into subsequent comments. And if I had to pick one, I'd pick comments over the initial description (because you could always just add comments to your own Task even if you're the one creating it, but no work-around if you can't paste them into comments).
