Planner is marking tasks complete, but its not in any flow to do so (Ghost?)

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 6

The flow is creating a task when a form is submitted, EVERYTHING works fine except.... once the task is created a couple minutes later its AUTOMATICALLY marked as complete by me... but I didn't complete it or choose to have it marked completed. 

 

I even added an extra step to make sure the task is 0 for progress. 

 

Is there a setting somewhere in MY account that is marking it complete? The task is actually assigned to someone else.

    @ALittleHelpPLS Can you show a screenshot of your flow? If you are using the New Designer, can you toggle it off and click on each action to expand it and upload a screenshot of your flow in Edit Mode.

     

    Additionally, if you are using the New Designer—it's still a bit buggy. Try to run your flow in the Classic Designer and see if that helps.

    How to Email Attachments 🖇 to Your Planner Tasks

     

    When you add attachments to a Planner task from your computer, the files are automatically saved in the Documents document library of the SharePoint site associated with the M365 Group of your plan. Instead of downloading email attachments to OneDrive or SharePoint just so you can add them to a Planner Task—automate it.

     

    In this Microsoft Power Automate Tutorial—I’m going to show you how build a flow that will take your email attachments and add them to a Planner task. All you need to do is copy a link to a task, forward the email to yourself and the attachments will be saved onto SharePoint and attached to your planner task.

     

    At the end of the video I’ll show you how to use Trigger Conditions so this automation only runs when specific conditions are met.

    Hello,

     

    Its not the new designer. This was created a long time ago prior to the new designer. Posting the flow wont matter is there is absolutely nothing in the flow that is marking it complete. 

    Update a task (V2) ONLY has adding a due date that is adding 60 days from now addDays(utcNow(),60)Update a task (V2) ONLY has adding a due date that is adding 60 days from now addDays(utcNow(),60)I'm asking if there is a setting somewhere that has been added or something since this is a issue that arrived after years of working without issue and suddenly is marking items complete after a few minutes of being created.
