Can't link existing plan in Planner to Teams

My team at work has a plan that was created in Planner.  We now want to also start using Teams, but we are unable to link the existing plan to Teams.  When we try to add a Planner tab to a channel, we get the option to "Use an existing plan from this team" or create a new plan, but there's no option to link to an already existing plan in Planner.  Does anyone know how to do this, or can you only link to plans that were created in Teams?

    Thanks for the suggestion, DSlemon. This is a reasonable workaround, but not a solution. 

    MS needs to fix the actual issue, which is allowing an existing planner to be associated with a team. I got it to work for one occurrence, but can't get any of my other planners to work. Nothing is obviously different about any of these. 

    Making new planners isn't the answer either. I can't move my tasks from one planner to another (yet another issue with MS Planner) so it means I have to recreate all those tickets. This is terrible.

    We will likely be switching to Asana...

    It is so frustration this is not solved after so many months. It is a waste of time to recreate the planner in teams

    From the chain, it looks like you can't use a planner that is connected to another team.

    I copied a planner that is not assigned to a team and I do not have an option to choose from to use an existing planner still. How will the drop down populate with a planner?

    Many Thanks!

    Hi JEDI_KNIGHT,

    Your time is appreciated. May I know if you have added the plan to another team? If you are in this situation, you won't find the plan in the list. 

    Besides, you can try to create a new plan and check if the issue persists. 

    Regards,

    Carlos

    Hi JEDI_KNIGHT,

    Based on your description, you can select User an existing plan to choose an existing Planner plan to add to a tab in this channel. you can follow the link below for more details:

    If you have followed the steps but cannot find your existing plan, could you please provide a screenshot of it? And you can also go to Teams web version and check it.
