Planner migration to SharePoint list

Author: Albert-Jan Schot

Use the CLI for Microsoft 365 to migrate an existing plan to a SharePoint Online List with this sample. You can specify the planner plan that you want to migrate and the script will generate a new list for you with the required fields and views. The current sample does migrate all tasks however it skips the following information:

  • Categories
  • Comments made on tasks
  • Attachments
