    Hi, the functionality hasn't changed but the only version of OneNote that has the ability to create Outlook tasks is OneNote for Office (not OneNote online or OneNote for Windows 10).

     

    OneNote has never had full task functionality (due dates, recurring tasks, etc.) which is where Outlook fills the gap.

     

    You can still do it, but make sure you use OneNote for Office (it might be called OneNote 2016).

I cannot get a todo to sync with outlook at all, whether it is created on desktop or online. There used to be a lot of ability in outlook to create meaningful dated tasks, it seems like functionality is steadily being removed from onenote, which is the main reason I subscribe to office365. So i am not even getting to have the problem of losing the links, I cant even make one.
