Planner - Assign Task based on Task Label

(1) Share

Report

Posted on by EkspertNovice

Hello,

I have a Template Planner plan with several (50-ish) tasks, all tasks have one label. At the startup of a new project, I make a copy of the template plan and use it for the new project. Now I am assigning each task to the responsible team member manually. Is it possible to automate the assignment based on the task label? The person responsible will change from project to project, but the label will not change.

I want all tasks labeled "Admin" to "John Doe", tasks labeled "Design" to "Jane Doe", etc.

Thanks in advance.

You can use the following actions to accomplish this:
The Compose Assignment Count action checks to see if the task has already been assigned to someone. If you plan to assign multiple people to the same task based on different color flags, you would not use this. It uses the expression:
int(length(items('Apply_to_each')?['_assignments']))
Then you would repeat the condition for every flag color you need to use for assigning the tasks.
