I totally understand PetrKrenzelok. We're currently using JIRA, AzureDevOps, Wrike, Trello, and M365 (Planner/Project for the Web)...but none of them are perfect...far from it. Microsoft is missing out on a great opportunity here. I posted a feedback item pointing that out...and asking them to make ...

in Add up to 25 embedded, editable labels to your tasks on Sep 20 2022 09:32 PM
We use labels to show what worker(s), and what subcontractor(s) are planned to do a specific task.This works better for us than assigning a task to them. The reason is they do not work with planner.So, unlimited number of labels (Colors may be the same on several if that is an issue) would be great.
