Same issue here as well. I want to be able to see the My Day tasks I've set in To Do from the Outlook PWA pane, but they don't show up.

    I believe I understand what's happening: when a task's scheduled day arrives, the Todo app automatically sets it as a "My day" task. However, the Todo app seems to be missing a configuration step, as the task is not recognized as a "My day" task in the Outlook PWA (maybe they're using different properties in the data structure?).

    As a workaround, try removing the task from "My day" in the Todo app by pressing the "X" next to "Added to my day," and then adding it back by pressing "Add to my day". This action will display the task in the Outlook PWA "My Day" task list.

    This should be an easy fix, and I hope that Microsoft addresses it soon, as it is a frustrating bug.

      FCSimoes, A simpler method is, in Outlook PWA, switch the list you're viewing from "My Day" to "Planned". Right-click any planned task for today and choose "Add to My Day".

        Ukiman1014It doesn't work either, any task oming from planner cannot reach by anyway the to-do sidebar within outlook.

      This may be a bug, but it is not what the post is precisely about, I don't think. The issue is in a planner plan, given a task is assigned to you, it does not appear ever in the sidebar, only in teams planner and to-do, full outlook web app to-do list and the to-do app. the sidebar never shows planner assigned to tasks as source. whether added to 'my day' or not. compare the my day in sidebar with others my days/
