How to Retrieve the Last Modified Date/Time for Tasks in Microsoft Planner using Power Automate?

Hello Community,

I'm currently working on a Power Automate flow to extract the last modified date/time for tasks in Microsoft Planner. While I can retrieve the lastModifiedTime from the checklist by parsing JSON, this seems to apply only to the checklist items and not the entire task. Additionally, for each task ID, I observe multiple lastModifiedTime entries for each task ID, which is causing confusion.

 

Goal:
I need to accurately capture the last modified date/time for each task in Microsoft Planner.

 

Current Approach:

  1. Using the "Get task details" action to retrieve task details.
  2. Parsing the JSON response to extract lastModifiedTime for checklist items.

However, this approach does not provide the last modified date/time for the entire task but only for individual checklist items.

 

Questions:

  1. How can I retrieve the last modified date/time for the entire task in Microsoft Planner?
  2. Is there a specific property or method that tracks the last modification of the task as a whole?
  3. Can Power Automate provide this information directly, or is there another workaround I should consider?

Any insights or suggestions on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    The value does not exist to be returned. You can reference what properties can be returned at plannerTask resource type - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Learn. These values can be returned through a Graph API request with the ID of the task. For example: GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/planner/tasks/{taskId} and include Prefer: return=representation in the header.
