Custom fields in Microsoft Planner

When tracking time directly from Microsoft Planner with the TrackingTime button, you can select and complete custom fields from the time tracking window.

Custom fields are available whether you start a timer or manually add a time entry, allowing you to include all the required information without leaving Microsoft Planner.

Custom fields can be especially useful for keeping time entries consistent and adding important context, such as client details, billing information, work categories, or any other data your team needs for reporting.
