Planner Step

Bucket ids

Sometimes we need the planner ID for the bucket we want to modify. Here is a link to a simple flow we can use to get bucket IDs. Here are the existing bucket id's as of 2023-01-31:

• 🤔Maybe/Eventually/Ideas = V22nFFwtqUSiOJZQWXGYrmQADqc3
• 🔜NEXT - No Due Date = _KbUQquhCEqEEQ7bPlEOD2QAGz1F
• 👨‍💻WIP - No Due Date = RMg-ppHpJU-KwvzwdcCvImQAP17S
• 🗓 Tasks With Due Dates = O2Rm_wi9bkeJvrXh3mtlZ2QAGa3z

Attachments

Show on card

When I add an attachment to a task using the Update task details step, the Planner task has the Show on card property on. This is annoying to me. There doesn't appear to be a straightforward way to change this setting (for example), so I'm experimenting with workarounds.

• This YouTube video shows how to use the Switch to input entire array option in the Update task details step.

• Power Automate community - Show on Card?. This post shows how to change the previewType property using a Send an HTTP request step. I tried it directly and got an error. I may have been that I typed something incorrectly or it may have been that some time needs to pass between creating the task and using an HTTP request to update it. Here is the documentation for plannertaskdetails. I think I need to change the previewType property to "previewType": "noPreview".

I'm thinking that I may be able to combine the two resources above to get this done, but I'm running out of time to work on it right now.

• Blog post on linking to planner tasks
  • Because I didn't want to link the planner task to itself, I tweaked the code: concat('https://tasks.office.com/uthtmc.onmicrosoft.com/Home/Task/',item()?['id'])
