Accessing the 'Description' field of a Planner task in Flow?

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 4

Hi All,

 

I'm unable to get to the description field of tasks in my planner from flow. Anyone able to do this? I can see a field indicating whether there is a description, but nothing to actually get the contents.

 

Any ideas?

    Hi @Sam_L,

     

    Before you get the value 'Description' of task details, you should make sure there is a value in the task description, you can create the task description in the task board:Annotation 2019-09-02 132437.png Then you can use the action Get task details to get the dynamic content of Description.Annotation 2019-09-02 132814.png

    The Description/Notes field is not available in the trigger when a task is completed. This is 2024 😞
