Hi everyone! Since uservoice cannot be used anymore, I hope this post will be read by a MSFT product group and take the suggestion in consideration 🙂 MS To-do (and/or Tasks by Planner) slowly but ...

    Nico Although this is not a feature, it is quite simple to do using 2 flows in PowerAutomate... I have developed just this. First flow creates a task on the Assigned To in P4W. Second flow monitors the Task GUID for changes in ToDo / Tasks and updates P4W tasks when changes are made outside of P4W.

     

    Another option is to trigger and email to the user assigned the task and then use PA to flag the email if the subject contains... auto putting the task in ToDo etc

     

    Or us adaptive cards to make an interactive email or Teams post to a channel so you still have access through the day to day toolset.

     

    All the PA flows use the Project and Projects Tasks tables in Dataverse which is where the P4W data lives.

     

    Loads of options if MS don't implement this, although would be far better if it was part of the standard offering, I agree.

     

    Hope this helps.
