Automatic populating of My Day
I have several Lists each with numerous actions. I assign Due Dates to each action. Every day I have to troll through all my actions and Add to My Day on all those actions which are due today. It would save an awful lot of time if an algorithm could be devised by Microsoft which automatically registers those actions due today in My Day

For now, you should be able to see the tasks that are due today in your “Planned” smartlist under the “Today” bucket.

The automatic building of "My Day" based on previously assigned or overdue tasks is the key feature I am also seeking as many others have already mentioned. I have stopped using the app because it is not there given it takes too much time to go through the 100s of to do items each day.
Is there a timeframe of when this will be available?
Is there a way to be notified of when available so I can begin using the app again?

I second that request. While planned is OK, I have users who are missing repeating tasks, because they forget to look in the planned section, when setting up their day.

Please populate Today planned list with previous Today's task not completed. That's should be also you intent: if I planned to complete it yesterday it should appear today if task was not fullfilled.

if this is added, it should be optional. One of the advantages of my day is in fact to look through my task lists and decide those things that I need to work on today.

Please roll-over any incomplete to-do's from the previous day's "My Day" into today's list. This would also reduce the amount of time taken to populate today's tasks and allow one to plan in the evening for the next day.
Also, please allow for colour-coding of tasks, or creation of sub-headings under "My Day" so one can distinguish between different types of tasks that need to be done in a day (e.g. urgent, 5-min tasks, reminders, etc.)

Current set up is WAY too time intensive. Why do I need to comb through my list to flag "My Day" items when a quick "if-than" script could do this automatically???

The way it is, "My Day" is utterly useless. I need to see the urgent (= due today or overdue) and the important tasks on one list. There's usually a reason why I added a due date of today. And I don't feel like digging through all lists every day in the morning just to re-add a lot of stuff that some stupid algorithm has thrown out. Guess what, there are tasks that need more than one day to complete. "Suggestions" is not a solution but a clunky workaround. So please please add the option to auto-populate "My day" with the two types of tasks I mentioned (urgent/important).
"My Day" doesn't even do right what it's intended for: If anything, every sane person would populate a list for the next day in the evening. Can't even do that.

You install microsoft launcher on your phone, sped time to set up tasks only to realise that that To Do is useless piece of software because instead of making things easy it requires you to spend too much time managing it!

How long will it take to implement this?

Why is the grouping feature still not implemented for the Windows version of To Do? I‘s been a while since it was added to Android and iOS. Still waiting to finally get some Wunderlist convenience back to the app.

Please add the automatic adding to My Day as a feature - be it an optional, hidden one. I so often forget the due dates I set because stuff is not added to my day. Stuff that is overdue can still be displayed at the side.

I agree this would be a very helpful feature.

Love this idea. But, please make that change as an OPTION, not something that automatically happens.

Love the idea. However, please add that feature as an OPTION, not a feature that automatically happens.

Things by cultured code is a mac application to handle to-dos. It has this feature and has saved me countless hours.
Microsoft needs to add this feature. It is amazing that it does not exist. I often forget to add planned tasks to My Day, and then end up forgetting to do something that was critical. This means, Microsoft To Do is not a good solution -- unless it gets added.

I am so surprised that this function is not in To Do yet.
