How to add custom fields to a task in Planner or To Do list?
I am wanting to replace a excel P&A list that my team uses with the "Tasks by Planner and To Do". However, we need some custom fields added. I have searched but can not find out how to add custom f...
OK, I guess it was user error on my part in that I did not see how to get to sharepoint directly from Teams LIsts. However, the automate functions are not "live" for me (Guessing that is r/t some limitation from my employer) and there is not a way to make something on the list recur. In addition, while I am reasonably comfortable working in Teams, Sharepoint is not my forte, and I really want to learn yet another platform. (We are all not computer gurus). Tasks works to make something recur and automate reminders but lacks customization of fields. udob99
pamski if you add a tab to your channel in Teams, instead of adding Tasks, you can add Lists. There is a template in there for a task list. MS Lists are really just SharePoint lists and are stored in the SharePoint site behind your team. You can configure it right there in Teams or, like almost anything you add a tab for, you can select the drop down arrow and Go to app or Go to website and you will see the list in all its glory in the SharePoint site behind your team. From there you have many options including the view you wish to look at. However, it will not give you the kanban board view. I think that may come in the future, but it doesn't exist now.
Here is an easy tutorial on how to create a list.

- pamski karen_dredske fyi - sharepoint list do support a kanban view
- udob99 & karen_dredske - haven't got a point. If there is a Planner used, as the name suggests, for planning the tasks 😉 you suggest to use Sharepoint Lists to create another planner instead, to bypass lack of original Planner functionality, just because Microsoft can't do it?
