MicrosoftColumn formatting now rolling out to first release users
Slightly offtopic, but since you are responsible for modern lists and libraries....When are we going to see modern task lists? Any plans on this one? Or are those not converted to modern and we are supposed to use planner instead?
I think as Microsoft mentioned Planner is an integral part of the Office 365 ecosystem and is integrated with Office 365 Groups. And it is ready to use task management portal with all the required components but in case Task list you had to create your SP team site first and then security then you get to manage your project plan. So, i don't see Microsoft planning to apply modern UI to task list as we have Planner released with cool task management features.
LincolnDeMarisSunny is on the right track. Modernizing task lists is not a priority right now - Planner is where we're investing in task management for groups and teams. We are thinking about ways we can connect the two - for example, by migrating SP tasks over to Planner - but we don't have any definitive timelines or plans in this area yet.
LincolnDeMarisLooks like Column formatting has hit first release tenants. Been playing with it and it is working pretty well so far.
However it does not look like the formatting is visible to the List WebPart on modern pages. Are there any plans for this feature to show up in the webpart. I am typically designing SharePoint pages so that a user almost never comes in contact with the actual List itself but sees a page with a list webpart. This is mostly for aesthetic reasons and so I can add things like text or pictures referring to the list on the same page as the list.
Thanks,

That's right, formatting does not show up in the web part yet. We are working on that now. When it's close to being released, we'll post here and on the Message Center.
