Show on Card? Microsoft Planner

I am in the process of creating a flow that integrates with MS Planner but some reason there is no option to indicate Show on card in the flow. I wonder whether this feature is available in Power Automate flow?

Hi,

 

In your CustomerHeader1 part: "CustomHeader1""If-Match:@{outputs('Update_task_details')?['body']?['@odata.etag']}",

 

The If-Match: needs a space after the : and then add the body.odata bit. I think that might be your problem.

 

Also, and not sure, but you might also need some checklist items entered for it to show them. You can add them into the section in Step 4 of your screenshot.

Thank you for the reply. I have amended 'If-Match' to have the space between the (:). Example

 

("If-Match: @{outputs('Update_task_details')?['body']?['@odata.etag']}")

 

Still not applying an active state to the 'Show on card'. when an email is synced to planner.

 

In Part 4. what do you mean by "might also need some checklist"? Where would I find the id of the checklist for that particular option?

 

From looking at the plan setup each task as only one checklist. Looking at another user on here who uploaded his example, he had '1' as a checklist id - 1. Based on his method I have attached an example to which I assume would be how to get this to work:

I will test this next. Please do correct me if this isn't how it should be done.

 

Thanks again for the help on this.

 

Ok this is interesting. Adding a checklist to step 4 did work but it applied it to the wrong area: See screenshot

Nice to know how this feature works just not as I was expecting. The idea is to have 'Show on card' auto checked when the task is created, allowing me to display info in the card preview. This would help us not to have to do it manually if possible. From looking at the YouTube video shared and others I can't see anything different to my setup, accept that I am pulling in data from an email body instead.

@PopSDev Your "Update task details" look different than mine:

if you click on the T sign on the side you can enter the whole array of check-list items. Then use the http graph patch request. 

In the bottom box of the Update task details step where it says 'Checklist is Checked - 1' select No to have it show on the card. I think you're done once you've got that sorted 🙂

Thank you for the advice.

 

Unfortunately my flows have become stuck. I just get the spinning wheel now when testing. Deleted them reinstated with no change. Read that its common and their doesn't seem to be a solution which is worrying.

 

Edit:

 

I found the issue and it was related to a subject line. Trial and error. I will go ahead and test your solution.

Hi JustAPACreater,

 

Thank you for the tip. I just tried the change and realised it is adding the 'Show on card' for Checklist not Notes. I might have caused some confusion in my original message. I do apologies for this :(.

 

It works for the Checklist based on your feedback. is it just a case of changing "checklist" to "notes" under Body, keeping all the setting you suggested the same?

 

Currently I have under Body:

{
"previewType": "checklist"
}

 

Does this need to be:

{
"previewType": "notes"
}

 

At the moment the 'Show on card' is only applied to the checklist not notes. I need the Notes to be auto ticked if possible:

Thanks

 

Hi shavora,

 

In response to your reply. I might have caused some confusion. I was wanting the 'Notes' to be auto ticked on "Show on card", allowing the info to be shown automatically. Please see my reply to JustAPAcreater.

 

If you have any suggestions please do share.

 

Regards

The notes field is referenced in Planner Steps as Description so setting this may enable what you are after:

 

{
"previewType": "description"
}

That's the one I had trouble getting to work as well using the code @JustAPACreator gave just now. Though everything suggests that's the right code for it.

Hopefully this will help us all out one day:

 

Update plannertaskdetails - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Docs

And in text form for ease of copying out:

Property                         Type                                                              Description

checklistplannerChecklistItemsThe collection of checklist items on the task.
descriptionStringDescription of the task
previewTypestringThis sets the type of preview that shows up on the task. The possible values are: automatic, noPreview, checklist, description, reference. When set to automatic the displayed preview is chosen by the app viewing the task.
referencesplannerExternalReferencesThe collection of references on the task.

Hi JustAPACreator,

 

Added this change and it works. There is a BUT though :(. Not sure what or why but the planner doesn't pre-populate the card with the first few lines of text in the "notes" section. I have to untick it and then tick it again to get this to work. Very odd. I can only assume its a function that needs to be applied after the card is populated with data. Maybe its turning this feature on before the content is applied.

 

Please do give it a try on your end if possible to see if it isn't only me that is effected. It could be that I have my workflow setup poorly. I can see a template on there that does exactly what I have done manually except the "description" patch. I might see how this is done and try it on there to see if it makes any difference.

 

Regards

 

Darren

I always add a 5 second delay step in-between adding data to Planner Tasks.

 

  • Got to add Step
  • type Delay
  • change from the default Minute value to Seconds
  • and enter 5:

Also, I'd put the "show description on the card" setting as the final step in the flow or Scope. Here's one of mine (without delays as I had them and deleted as didn't seem to need them in this flow):

That should see you straight.

Hey there,

 

after some back and forth across forums on this site (such is PA customer support) I have found that the HTTP request that clicks my button "Show on card" is 'description' ... 🙂

 

Here is what mine looks like after a successful fire:

The two Dynamic Content items are written as they were earlier in the forum.

 

Best of luck.

@invintern that is great. This solves a "part" of the issue, but what when you have 4 attachments on a card and you want a specific attachment to be shown on the card. Is it possible to put something in the body mentioning exactly which attachment should be visible on the card?
The way I have solved it, is to make a separate action update card at the very end. The attachment or the detail I put in or on the card in the last action will automatically be the one previewed on the card. It works every time, but it is an annoying workaround. Also mentioned earlier on in this thread

Thanks

Ghita

Dear Sir,

Could you please share a little more of previous step?

Could you provide a screenshot of your config in the Send a HTTP Request V2 at all please?

Doesn't work for me.

Hi @JustAPACreator ,

Here is the screenshot of my HTTP-Request:

Thank you in advance!
