Replicate planner task after completion

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I want to use Flow and Planner to automate the handling of maintenance tasks. We have a bunch of daily, weekly, monthly and yearly recurring tasks here in my technical department. As most of you might know unforseeable circumstances  hold up the clocklike task completion every now and then. Therefore it makes no sense to automatically replicate an open daily task on the next day. There are a lot of tasks that should only be replicated after completion. I found no satisfying way to achieve this with flow. I can create a task on completion of another task. But I found no way to duplicate/create checklists or attachments that are needed to get the work done. Am I missing something?

    Planner does not allow reccuring tasks. I set up a flow that triggers a new Planner task when one is added to Outlook tasks. Outlook does allow for recurring tasks. When the task is clicked as completed in Outlook it creates the next occruance of the task in both outlook at Planner. What I have not figured out is how to mark an Outlook task as completed when I complete it on Planner...So I am only halfway there but am looking for the solution. 

     

    There is a simple Outlook Task to Planner template that I used to set up the recurring tasks in Outlook.

    Hi @UKA,

     

    Creating a Planner task with checklists or attachments are duplicated is not supported in Microsoft Flow currently, if you would like this feature to be added in Microsoft Flow, please submit an idea to Flow Ideas Forum:
