Planner Task Link Attachment To OneNote Page 'Invalid'

Anonymous

Good Morning,

Has anyone experienced an issue with the Task Attachment Links to OneNote becoming 'invalid urls'? I have several Teams that have Planners and OneNote notebooks. I typically have added a link on individual tasks to individual pages in the OneNote notebook for the Team/Planner group. A few days ago, I noticed these links were still taking me to the OneNote notebook but not to the page...they were taking me to the first section first page only.

When editing the link anything to a page is considered an invalid url now.

Thanks

Hi IT 27118,

According to your description, you add the link of a task in planner (https://tasks.office.com) to a section in OneNote and when you click the link, it doesn't take you to the task in browser but just jumps to the first section of the notebook.

If I misunderstand anything, please correct me.

I have test from my side and the task link takes me to the task correctly.

To better understand your situation and provide help for you, please help confirm some information:
1. What are your Office product name and full version number? You can capture a screenshot refer to this article: What version of Office am I using?
2. Could you please capture some screenshot of where the link locates and where the link takes you to if you click the link?
3. What will happen if you copy and paste the link to browser to access it?
Best Regards,

Gloria

Sorry to jump in but I have a similar issue. I believe what the OP is asking is to insert a ON link on a Planner card to have the task documentation readily available.

In my case I can't paste a link to a ON paragraph/page/section as a Planner attachment (link or Sharepoint) at all. That is, the URL is said to be invalid. As far as I can remember I've been able to do this flawlessly before!

Regards

Johan

Yeah, I have the same problem since a few days.

I usually like to include links in Planner to email-conversations in our team-group-account for a reference.

But that suddenly doesn't work anymore

I just try to copy the link to an email-conversation and paste it in the adress dialog

Result: "Please enter a valid url"
