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

While we aren’t adding automatic population of due dates to My Day at the moment, we have made some significant changes to the Planned list.
Rolling out on Android now (version 2.17), and coming soon to other platforms, you can now see a distinct Today view in the Planned list. You can also choose to group this view by list so that you get a view of what you have to do today across all your lists. You can choose to close particular lists e.g. Home if you don’t want to see it while at work.

Hi Polly and everyone else who obviously has the same problem.... one of the reasons why the "MyDay" feature should have the option of auto-population is that the "Planned Today" list stands out like a sniper in a ghillies suit.... it's like saying 'oh, and by the way, there's something on today if you can be stuffed finding it'.

I have to agree with the guys on this one. The idea of my day is to have and overview over the tasks you want to do today. It should automatically update the view with the tasks that is due today.
It should als be possible to set a task due to a specific time on a specific day without a reminder or/and get a reminder the day before.

I cannot adopt this ToDo app if there are so many "smart" lists with unclear and unintuitive overlaps. The "My Day" section is a nightmare - you cannot remove it, it's always at the top hence glaringly obvious, and you can only populate it manually. And secondly, what even is the "Tasks" section? Is it just an uncategorised list, with stuff that doesn't belong to other user-made lists? Complete mess.

for the love of god please just do what almost 1000 users are asking.
your app is pretty much useless if everything is manual. Enter the 21st century already.

It would really help adding items due for my day automatically instead of staying up till after midnight to make the list

I also agree. I thought that 'My Day' is gathering the whole schedule that i placed for today automatically.....rn My Day has no such thing to do with......Also i don't need 'Planned List' it's just making things complex. We want a simple interface

I totally agree. All items with a due date should automatically populate to "my day" on the assigned date. Also an item that has not been completed should remain in "My Day". There's no point to assigning a date if it won't automatically get added on the due date. It's just causes the user to have to scroll through all their tasks. The point of the to-do list is to make our lives easy if we have to manually add then it's not saving us any time.
It would also be nice if the to-do list did not clear out everyday. The items in the to-do list should remain there until the user removes them. -

What on earth is the point of "My Day" if it won't just show you what you have scheduled for today??? My goodness another Microsoft blunder. At least give us the option to turn it off.

Incomplete items should automatically populate in My Day until marked as finished.
