Hi Guys, my question is so easy, at least in terms of common words, that I can't seem to get an answer from Google. Can you somehow create TODO comments in VS 2022 when authoring Python files? My TODO comments created in cs files show up properly in the Task List, but I had no luck with Python.

    Hi @Gus ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    The default tokens, for example TODO, are available only for the C/C++, C#, and VB languages. You need to create your own tokens for other programming languages for example Python(See this doc: Custom tokens).

    But based on my test, in VS 2019, my custom token works well for Python, but it fails in VS 2022. I have reported this issue here, you can follow up that thread for more information too.

    Best Regards,
    Tianyu

    Hi @Gus

    Try using TODO Tree found at https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Gruntfuggly.todo-tree to track TODO comments in python.
