Does anyone know if there is a way to change the creator of a Planner task using Power Automate. I have built a workflow that creates new tasks in different buckets upon completion of previous tasks. Every time Power Automate creates one of these new tasks, I am the task creator. What I would like is for the creator of the initial task to be carried forward to the subsequent task that are automatically generated. Is this even possible? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
You can control who the task is assigned to, but not who its created by. I don't think this is possible with planner tasks even using REST calls or the Graph API.
Would there be a way to get the id of the original assignee and use it to assign them to a later task? Right now, after the first task is completed, the next task gets assigned to the supervisor and when it is completed, get assigned to another team member. A couple steps later I'd like to assign the new task back to the original assignee.

I need to go back and look to be sure, but I assume you should be able to get who the completed task was assigned to originally. Then you can assign the same person to the new task. You just need their email address to do that.
