Adding Due Dates to Planner Checklist in a Task

Hello I’m Adeyemi and I’d be happy to help you with your question. I understand your need to add due dates to checklist items in Microsoft Planner. Microsoft Planner does not currently support adding due dates to individual checklist items within a task. The Planner tool is designed with simplicity in mind, and while it's great for managing tasks and assigning them to team members, it doesn't have the granularity to assign due dates or reminders to individual checklist items within those tasks. As a workaround, some users create separate tasks for each item that would otherwise be a checklist item. This allows you to set due dates and reminders for each item. However, I understand from your message that this solution might not work for you due to the large number of tasks it would create. I recommend providing feedback to Microsoft about this feature request. This will help: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/how-do-i-give-feedback-on-microsoft-365-2b102d44-b43f-4dd2-9ff4-23cf144cfb11#platform=macOS I hope this helps Give back to the Community.

I have the same pain point. Especially since that functionality exists in Trello, but recently had to switch over to Planner. Trello has its own quirks and drawbacks, but better scheduling and reminders.
