Show on Card? Microsoft Planner

(3) ShareShare

Posted on by 379

I am in the process of creating a flow that integrates with MS Planner but some reason there is no option to indicate Show on card in the flow. I wonder whether this feature is available in Power Automate flow?

    Hi @Lorem1960,

     

    As a workaround you could try and use the Graph API for that and use a PATCH request to set the previewType property to checklist via the Update plannertaskdetails, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/plannertaskdetails-update?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

    @Expiscornovus and @Lorem1960 I was able to make this work for checklists but not for "previewType": "description". If you managed to make it work with the description, would you mind sharing the code?

    @shavora can you share the portion of your code or a screenshot of how you got the checklist to work?

    Absolutely, @ishesb what you need is the ID of the planner task that you want to update.

    Click on show advanced options. Here you need to reference the right etag on the task. In CustomHeader2: Prefer: return=representation

    This is thanks to @DamoBird365 who shows this on his YouTube channel.

    Hi, I've been looking for this to use and looks perfect but I don't seem to have a body.@odata.etag content available. How would I find/create that please or do you have the link to @DamoBird365 's video as I couldn't find it. TIA.Screenshot 2022-03-08 125935.png

    @shavora this is great! 

     

    I am on the same boat as @JustAPACreator with the etag, I found @DamoBird365 's video but it does not go into any more detail than that, he refers to the documentation but I am not able to find it there either 😞

     

    Any input welcome, thanks in advance!

    I manage to find the video under Bulk Import Tasks into Planner using Power Automate and the specific part is here Bulk Import Tasks into Planner using Power Automate but as you noted, doesn't show how to create that part.

    Ah! Might be an eureka moment but found this reply from @DamoBird365 to the same question we have:

    Are you using the update task details action prior to this? It’s quite possible that I typed the expression in manually. Can you see etag in the history output of the update task details output and if so, try writing a manual expression to retrieve this key or value, keep me posted.

    Re: Show on Card? Microsoft Planner

    @ishesb  It is actually typing this as an expression: outputs('Update_task_details')?['body']?['@odata.etag']

    It isn't available as a dynamic value, but we can still find it if we write the custom expression.

    It will look like a pink expression first and when you save it, it will become a planner green symbol like in the picture. 

    Just remember that if you change the name of the Update task details, you will have to click on this expression and edit it. Like: outputs('Update_my_planner_task')?['body']?['@odata.etag']

    Re: Show on Card? Microsoft Planner

    Ah, mine turned into an fx icon when I typed it out and thought I'd got it wrong. I ended up downloading the Flow from the YouTube video and copying it across. Thank you @shavora for giving this very helpful insight so I can recreate rather than rely on a copy and paste.
