Unable to add @mentions to comnents in a Task

[Fernando Rodriguez]

Hi all, need some help here.

I am using planner integrated to Teams.

It seems I can not mention to a member assigend to the task using @XXXX in the comments box, to make sure he or she reads the commnet. Instead every time I post a comment, ALL members of the Team receive the comment, which is really a nightmare.

COuld you please advise on this pls?

Thanks!

How has this been an unfulfilled request for THREE YEARS???

Kevin, I'm with you!  I don't understand how so many FREE platforms have managed to figure this out, but they can't seem to get it together.  Makes me wish I would have stuck with Trello!

Totally agree! @Kim Kirschner 

We have just moved from Trello and this feature is essential in order to organise and maintain feedback in a large planning board.

There is a request for this in the Teams uservoice:

Vote and encourage others in your organization to vote too.

Not being able to tag users in the comments of a Planner task has NOTHING to do with MS Teams so I'm not sure why users should vote on an idea in the MS Teams UserVoice site. We should instead be voting on the following idea in the Planner UserVoice site.

I'm not holding my breath though, as the idea has been open for 5 years as of today now. No wonder Atlassian's Trello, Monday.com, and Asana are more favored by most of the creative clients I provide IT support for.

hi,

I would like to see the feature added to Task to populate a comment to another team member of the channel. is that something planned in the future release?

Thanks,
