How to assign a Task from "Lists"

Anonymous

I have been running in circles trying to figure out why when I add a person from my organization to an item within a "Lists" tab, why it won't create or send that item to "Assigned Tasks."

Can anyone help with what I feel like is an insanely basic function?

    Hi, I'm Joshua and I am happy to help.

    Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue!

    Here are a few steps to try to resolve your issue:

    1. Confirm the person you added has permission to access the "Lists" tab and "Assigned Tasks".
    2. Make sure the "Assigned Tasks" feature is enabled in the Microsoft Teams settings.
    3. Try creating a new item in the "Lists" tab and assigning it to the person to see if it appears in "Assigned Tasks".
    4. If the issue persists, try clearing your browser cache and cookies, or using a different browser.

    Let me know if you need further assistance.

    Regards,
    Joshua.

    The "List" in question is on a channel that the whole team has access to.

    Assigned tasks is enabled and is not an issue when using the "Planner" module.

    Cleared cache and ran another test entry. Nothing.

    Hi,

    If the "List" is on a channel that the whole team has access to, and "Assigned Tasks" is enabled and functioning correctly with the "Planner" module, then it's possible that the issue may be with the configuration of the "List" tab.

    You could try the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:

    Check if the "List" tab is configured to create items in "Assigned Tasks".

    Make sure that the people you're trying to add to the item have the correct permissions and access to the "Assigned Tasks".

    Try recreating the "List" tab or the item to see if that resolves the issue.
