Integrating with DevOps Boards and other task trackers

I have been working with Power Automate to add and update DevOps work items with To Do so I can have visibility to the DevOps items in To Do.  This allows me to work with both teams that are using DevOps as well a those using Planner for a unified view of my task assignments.

 

I am wondering how others are tracking task sources.  I am currently using the list feature so I have one list for DevOps task and then put a prefix of "WorkID: 123456 -" before the work ID title.  This works OK, for now, expect that I will need to do this with each new source if I want to integrate with other teams' task lists in the future.

 

Below is an example of what a task looks like.  When a task is created it copies the title and description from DevOps into the To Do and adds the link to the work item on the web. I will do my primary note-taking in DevOps since that is the tool that the team is using for all task management.

 

So far I can sync description changes and status between the two so I can make those changes in either interface. My main goal is for me to be able to have a 360 view of the work I have assigned across multiple teams.

 

Any better suggestions?

With the upcoming changes to Planner is To Do going to remain a viable product? If so how can one make a feature request? I'm OK with building my integrations but really would like to have some fields to store some references to clean up my interface. I would like to share this with others in my organization but it is too fragile right now.
