Task closing approval

Hello,

 

There is 3 task status: Not starting, In Progress, Completed.

Could it be possible to add an intermediate status before closing a task :
 - I would like to introduced a facultative intermediate status such as Closing pending/Closing approval.

I would like to choose which assignee could close a task. It migh be diferent than the one who will complete the checklist.
The status could be automatically enabled when all the checklist is completed.

Regards,

  • Not possible out of the Box with Planner, but certainly is a nice idea. I often want to complete a task but not hit complete until someones reviewed. Best solution i can think of is an automation that assigns a label when all checklist items are ticked. I've not tried this, but certainly am going to and add into a course i'm designing that addresses flaws in Planner.
