Planner web part not showing existing plans

When I add the Planner Web Part , the box to choose an existing plan is not active. Is there something special i need to do to get than enabled?

  • The same here.

    Before I just created a Plan in planner and then in SharePoint, I added the planner app and selected the plan from the dropdown, but today there is no way to select it, it is grayed out.

    I have both private an public plans.

    There is no way to use a link in the planner app. May be with the Embed app, but if we have a planner app why use Embed app?

     

    Edit: I created a Plan direct from the Planner app and it is working. It has something to do with the connection between the plan and the team site. My question now is how can I connect older Plans in Planner to new tems sites groups?

      Seriously, these are the little things that are so infuriating about switching to a more MS focus. I figured I was just doing something wrong, but it is always a "nope, MS doesn't want it to make sense or work."

       

      EDIT: I don't know why this matters, but it worked for me.  When I create a site, it creates a planner (as I want). When I then go to add that planner as a web part it does not show as an existing plan despite appearing in the Planner hub. These are public on what I am working on (though I woke up thinking that was the issue). For some odd reason if I go to the plan on planner hub, then click the "..." and go to site settings then I can add it as a web part just fine. I have no idea why or how that would be a reason, but it works repeatedly for me.

    Think you have to use direct link to the plan. To get other plans to show I think it has to be added to a group site that has multiple plans in that group.
