Version 1.0Very nice improvement. But how can tasks be added in this view?
Thanks for the feedback JimKa! You can add tasks in board view when you set the grouping to 'Group by plan'. Other 'Group by' views require selecting the plan to add the task to, which we do not yet support in board view, but we have added a backlog item to support this.
(Adding to a premium plan will still require opening the premium plan, which you can do by selecting the plan title in 'Group by Plan' view or using the link from the task details)
By having whomever owns a Planner plan, add a task to that plan, and then assign you to that task. Planner uses a 'plan' that allows the owner of the plan to create tasks and assign them to people. Without the plan there's no tasks.... once a task is created in a Planner plan, that task will then show up in a user's My Task list/board view if they are assigned to it. The whole goal is to make it easy for people to understand all their tasks across Planner plans and provide updates in a streamlined way.
