I would like to use Planner to monitor the implementation of an IT team's production plan. Indeed, a production plan is a set of planned tasks - not necessarily assigned to someone but rather to a team. These tasks are often recurring: daily (for example, checking backups) or monthly (deploying security patches).
I could not understand how I could introduce the notion of recurring task directly or indirectly into Planner. I eventually considered that the calendar of the team concerned could contain recurring events that could be transformed into tasks via FLOW.
But I didn't manage to get to the end of that idea.
Thank you for your help if you have already done so or have other ideas.

This has becoming a recurring (running) joke@chrisarmstrong

It can be done with Power Automate, but it's clunky to set up, and has a crippling limitation for long-term tasks. The task must occur more often than once every 90 days or so or else it will automatically be stopped. This makes it useless for things like annual renewal reminders, for example.
This can be worked around by using more complex date evaluation logic, but that defeats the entire purpose, because it must be done for each task.
And of course, Microsoft could decide to discontinue the product at any time, so there's that.

This is become the typical norm. No seems to care about what the customers want or need. Microsoft has really gone down hill over the last decade. No following up on anything and pushing out products before they are ready.

I just realised that the aforementioned link (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=82028) does not work anymore. Does anyone have a working link for this roadmap item?

@rameshsingh The link is posted below. It currently states that it will release this month, March 2022. :crossed_fingers:

@adam deltinger This was EXACTLY what I needed! Thank you! It is PowerAutomate now, and not labeled as FLOW in the MS Apps, but it is still the same thing. Worked perfectly and didn't take too long on the first try. Thank you!

There are a ton of functional features that we all need, but MS seems to think we all care more about adding more emoticons... SMH!
This item has no updates in the Admin message center and I can't find anything on it outside of the roadmap that now says June (still shows in development), and it's June 23rd.
They seriously need someone to take over the prioritization of features!
