Creating and updating planner tasks In TEAMS'

[Colton_Hicks]

I have a flow that creates a task list in teams from a form that is submitted. My problem is that when I go to edit these newly created tasks the task ID on the edit task changes, the new created tasks are named the same way each time yet the edit task ID's are always different. Is there any way to help with this.

Task IDs are supposed to be unique. The ID is the primary key in each planner If your Create a task action is in the same workflow, you can use the ID from that action in the update action. For example:

Otherwise, you will need to use the List tasks action and then filter the results to find the correct task so you can get its ID.

Here is a better look at what the flow is doing. I do not have an ID option could you explain the filtering process of the list tasks or provide me with a video on how to properly do this.

Every task has to have an ID. That is how it works. You can use the list tasks action and then filter the results to look for your task. I have never done this as I don't see it being practical, but this is how you would do it:

In the above, the first action lists all of the tasks in the Plan. The second action filters the results to only items that are not 100% completed. The apply to each goes through the filtered results to get the task ID of each task that has not been completed. You can filter on different fields in planner, but this is how it would work. You will need to ensure your filters narrow it down to the exact task you want to get its ID. This is where I don't see this as being practical unless you wanted to do something on every task that meets the filter criteria.

The plan overall plan is to be able to update users and due dates on over 140 task at once. I am doing a test run with 5 tasks now as a proof of concept. Thank you for your help, I will try this.
