Task in Planner - Show description on card

Hey guys,

 

I use an automated flow to create a task in planner after a MS forms response has been submitted.

After using "create a task" I fill in the description and the checklist in "update task details".

 

When I open the card in Teams, I can choose "Show description on card". But standard is to show the checklist on card.

Is there a way in Power Automate to set "show on card" for the description part?

 

Thanks and best regards,

smag

    Hi @smag,

     

    You can use the previewType property of the plannerTaskdetails object and set that to description value. You can use a PATCH HTTP request with the Update plannerTaskDetails method of the Graph API for this:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/plannertaskdetails-update?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

     

    Below is an example in a Power Automate cloud flow

    In this sample I used an HTTP premium action with OAuth which uses an app registration (client id & secret) in Entra Id (with the correct permissions for this specific method, which is Tasks.ReadWrite.All).

     

    URI

     

    https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/planner/tasks/@{outputs('Create_a_task')?['body/id']}/details

     

     

    Headers

     

    {
 "Content-Type": "application/json",
 "If-Match": "@{body('Update_task_details')?['@odata.etag']}",
 "Prefer": "representation"
}

     

    Body

     

    {
"previewType": "description"
}
