Hi All,
Is there any update as to when Teams planner will enable funtion to set tasks as reoccurring?
I work in finance and it would be extremly useful for Teams to have this function.
At the current time it is almost not worth using planner as each month as I have to manually enter each month end task every month.
Thanks.

@William_Patterson It is listed as planned in the uservoice for Planner.
August 13 the Planner Team wrote:
"We’ve completed our initial designs (thanks a lot to your scenarios/details!) and are waiting for this to move it’s way up our backlog. We should have a scheduling update in November when work on three BIG initiatives wraps up. Stay tuned!"

Not recurring but you can copy an existing plan. So perhaps create a template plan with all your tasks and assignments. Then copy this plan each month and change the dates for each task or activity. That way you will get a history over a year of all the tasks each month which might provide some useful metrics.

@adam deltingerthanks both for the responses. At the current time I do indeed copy and paste from a template and change the dates but I have about 30 monthly tasks which I need to record so takes too much time. This has been on the back burner for almost three years from Microsoft, but I feel it should have been fixed years ago. Nearly everyone who uses a planner will have recurring tasks!
