Hi, thanks and appreciate for this feature. However when I was adding this, it prompted stating this extension can Read and chagne your data on tasks.office.com and read your browsing history. Could you please let me know if this is shared with you or any others my data or just used to change default view?

Can't believe this isn't built in to Planner already. I am a strict "sort by due date" person and it was driving me crazy that I needed to toggle to that view each time I opened planner. Would love to have it so that I could set different defaults for different projects. I also saw in another thread that you were considering making the color functionality optional. I cannot use the extension this way, as most of my tasks do not have tags and I cannot read the black text on a grey background (it is not enough contrast for my eyes). I *could* tag all of my tasks a lighter color, but that would really slow down my productivity. Either make it optional or switch the default task block color back to white. Thank you!

It's simple and great. Very useful but: 1. colouring should be optional feature 2. when task doesn't have label plugin sets gray clour to it, it could be as original - with no colour 3. its doesn't work when the Planner is in different than english language, I use polish. but I think it's easy solution - order of options in polish is this same as in english, I think in every lang is this same. so instead of selecting option by text you should selecting it by index
