Group Sub-Task by Parent and then by Bucket Option
I'd like to display sub-tasks under the parent task in Grid view, similar to how the old Planner in Grid view displayed checklists and then by Bucket. Is this functionality possible? If this feature could be added, it would allow us to discontinue using Asana.
Cannot see Task Chat for Planner app on iPhone
Hi, I am testing using the Planner app and have added a message in the Task Chat area via the web browser on a PC. I cannot see the message on the Planner app on the iPhone. I cannot see Task Chat anywhere on the iPhone. I can create a new message in the Comments section on the iPhone (in the Planner app), but cannot add comments using the web browser on a PC. The web browser wants me to use Task Chat, but cannot see that on the iPhone. Am I missing something simple here? Thanks Matt
Any word on exposing additional Planner triggers in Power Automate?
Right now, the ONLY triggers I can see are "when a new task is created", "when a task is completed", and "when a task is assigned to me". To make matters worse, even when using those I cannot read/write to custom fields using on Premium Planner boards. Its really frustrating as it feels like we're paying more and getting less when it comes to the "premium" plans.
Planner Agent does not work with Premium Plans
I have been toying around with Microsoft Planner Agent, and I am in love with the potential and the idea as to what it can help us do. It can help take meeting transcripts of weekly catch-up meetings and auto-populate/update different kanban cards and tasks and many other really cool and helpful features that will help DRASTICALLY reduce the time on menial admin work. However, these functionalities only work on basic plans, my team all have premium licenses and use a premium plan, and you would think planner agent would be able to work with premium plans, however, every time I try and leverage planner agent to create a task in our premium plan I keep getting the same response along the lines of: "this feature is not available for premium plans yet". You would think the opposite would be true, but I have chalked it up to the thought that since premium plans have more features, Microsoft haven't completely configured Microsoft Planner Agent to them yet. I would love to see if anyone else is dealing with this same problem, and if so, can share their experience to drive some visibility and SOU to this topic. I would also love to hear and see if anyone has any updates or timelines of when this feature would be available.Planner Not Loading (Blank Page) - Grid View Crashing On Chrome
Hi all I use Chrome and in just the last 24hrs, Planner stopped working as it was giving me a blank page when I loaded the URL. After investigating the console and trying Edge, incognito mode, deleting cookies/cache/data etc., we saw that the Chrome Developer Console reports "Uncaught ReferenceError: Cannot access 'B' before initialization at Module.CanvasUserTasksGridView" specifically within the "planner-canvasusertasksgridview component" We've confirmed that Board view works normally in Chrome, and the same plan and Grid view work correctly in Microsoft Edge. Additionally, Chrome is attempting to load some Microsoft Office font resources using malformed URLs containing a duplicated protocol, such as "https://https//res.cdn.office.net/..." which then fails with "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" This makes it look like an issue with the Planner Grid component or its Chrome-specific resource loading rather than the plan or account itself. I will continuing using Edge for the meantime, but if there is a fix or workaround as we mainly discuss tasks in grid mode in meetings so it would be great to get this back working in my preferred browser. Any help would be great!
Updated 2026 Planner Issues
The new Planner initially seemed really great and useful, but over the past month a series of problems have occurred that make it difficult to use. I have already reported everything to Microsoft, but so far no support agent has been able to help me. The issues are as follows: When I tag a colleague in the chat, they do not receive the email with the message content — this is a feature that is supposed to work by design and was working fine until last month. Often when I try to type in the chat, it either doesn't type at all, or it types in a different task. When I click in a chat, it automatically tags all the people previously mentioned, or if I want to tag just one person, it ends up tagging all the others as well. Are you experiencing these issues too?Ability to send an email to Planner and create a Task
Is this on the roadmap? Our organization is starting to lose the battle of using Planner instead of Trello, pretty much because of the sole feature that Trello allows you to send an email to a specific email address and it will automatically create a Task. It is quite a simple model: Email Subject = Task Title Email Body = Task Description Email Attachments = Task Attachments This would be a massive win for adoption. Looks like this is the entry with the most votes, but there are about 100 of them that individually are asking for the same/similar functionality: https://planner.uservoice.com/forums/330525-microsoft-planner-feedback-forum/suggestions/13076007-ability-to-add-email-as-planner-task
