plannerTask resource type - priority property

Question

plannerTask resource type - priority property

Paul Andrei Turcu 0

Hi,

While doing some http requests, on the patching of the tasks I found out the information regarding the priority values of a ToDo task in here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/plannertask?view=graph-rest-1.0.

Regarding this, according to this info the priority = 0 means urgent but in my postman tests, the priority 0 displays with the "Medium" info and not "Urgent".

Is that a bug in the endpoint itself or a not updated information?

Hi Paul Andrei Turcu,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft!

Regarding the planner task resource, could you please change the priority of the task in the planner UI and try to fetch the details as mentioned below and let us know if this is working as expected.

Try changing the priority of the task in the planner to urgent.

planner2

Try fetching the details of the task using Graph API where priority remains as "1".

planner1

Also, in the documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/plannertask-update?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http its mentioned as only the percent completed property can be updated.

After verifying the above-mentioned details, if you are still encountering this error, I would recommend you to raise a support case with Microsoft Graph, a Support Engineer will be able to look into this issue and assist you better. You can raise support ticket from https://admin.microsoft.com/#/support/requests

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your feedback. The problem I rised is mostly regarding the values given by the documentation and the real world outcome when I PATCH the taskId using Postman for example. If I manually run an http PATCH request on a specific task with the following body:

{
  "priority": 0
}

Then the priority of the task is set to 0 (Urgent, acording to documentation) and on Teams app it is set to medium.

This is how my response body looks like (i faked few variables)

{
    "@odata.context": "odata",
    "@odata.etag": "etag",
    "planId": "p_id",
    "bucketId": "b_id",
    "title": "task 1",
    "orderHint": "123",
    "assigneePriority": "",
    "percentComplete": 0,
    "startDateTime": "2024-12-20T00:00:00Z",
    "createdDateTime": "2024-12-18T08:56:48.8334156Z",
    "dueDateTime": "2024-12-21T00:00:00Z",
    "hasDescription": false,
    "previewType": "automatic",
    "completedDateTime": null,
    "referenceCount": 0,
    "checklistItemCount": 0,
    "activeChecklistItemCount": 0,
    "conversationThreadId": null,
    "priority": 0,
    "id": "t_id",
    "completedBy": null,
    "createdBy": {
        "application": {
            "displayName": null,
            "id": "id"
        },
        "user": {
            "displayName": null,
            "id": "id"
        }
    },
    "appliedCategories": {},
    "assignments": {}
}

and in teams this is how it looks like

So that is my question. If is an updated documentation or a bug from MS Graph since value 0 should mean - Urgent
