Hello

from and old conversation I have found in 2022:

"

It would be beneficial to be able to at "@" mention other team member straight in the task within microsoft planner. I'm a little surprised this feature is not already available. It would be a great help for those team members that are not directly involved in the task (so not an assigned user) but need to be notified or included in a specific point or discussion surrounding the task.

"

In 2024 I still cannot find a way to mention or tag a colleague. How can I do that?

    Yes, except you have to build a flow for it instead of it being native to the app. Not everyone wants to spend the time working with Power Automate, nor should they be expected to.

    user mentions are a basic feature that any project tracker tool should utilize. The free version of Trello has this feature.

    +1 to all of the requests above. This is urgent for a lot of users who are trying to track team projects using Planner. Please prioritize this feature.

    @ MS Development Team,

    I'm baffled as to why tagging (which is possible pretty much everywhere in Microsoft's office suite) wouldn't be possible in a subsection of MS teams which relies on specific communication capabilities (namely tagging) to get a task done. Please allow references to the active directory in Tasks ASAP as this feature add is long overdue.

    We just realized that if you go to the sharepoint site online where that plan is then go to conversations it will open up outlook and you can see all of the comments within outlook. But I wish it would be a notification with teams..
