-  - **Shared With**: Update plan members using a JSON mapping of user IDs.
-- **Delete**: Permanently removes the plan.
-
-### Working with Buckets
-
-The **Bucket** resource manages the columns or categories within a plan:
-
-- **Create**: Requires a **Plan ID** and a **Name**.
-  - **Upsert**: When enabled, the node will check if a bucket with the same name already exists in the plan and return that instead of creating a duplicate.
-- **Get Many**: Lists all buckets within a specific **Plan ID**.
-- **Update**: Change the bucket **Name** and its **Order Hint** (controlling the position in the UI).
-- **Delete**: Removes the bucket from the plan.
-
-### How to Find Plan IDs
-
-You can find your Plan ID in several ways:
-
-1. **From Planner URL**: Open Microsoft Planner in browser, the URL contains the Plan ID:
-   ```
-   https://tasks.office.com/.../ planId=YOUR_PLAN_ID_HERE /...
-   ```
-
-2. **Via Microsoft Graph Explorer**:
-   - Go to https://developer.microsoft.com/graph/graph-explorer
-   - Sign in
-   - Run: `GET /me/planner/plans`
-   - Copy the `id` field from the plan you want
-
-### Resource Locator (From List / By ID)
-
-When creating tasks or filtering by bucket:
-- **From List**: Select from dropdown (automatically loads based on Plan ID)
-- **By ID**: Manually enter the ID if you already know it
-
-For Get/Update/Delete operations, you need to manually enter the Task ID.
-

+5. Optionally select **Content Type**:
+   - **Text** (default): Plain text that will be wrapped in HTML
+   - **HTML**: Custom HTML content
+
+The comment will be created as a conversation thread in the Microsoft 365 Group associated with the plan. If the task doesn't have a conversation thread yet (or the linked thread was deleted), one will be created automatically. Plain text is HTML-escaped and line breaks are preserved.
+
+### Getting Comments from a Task
+
+To get all comments from a task:
+1. Select **Comment** as the resource
+2. Choose **Get Many** operation
+3. Enter the **Task ID** manually
+4. The operation returns:
+   - **taskId**: The task ID
+   - **commentCount**: Number of comments
+   - **comments**: Array of comment objects with:
+     - **id**: Comment ID
+     - **content**: Comment body (HTML)
+     - **from**: Author information
+     - **createdDateTime**: When the comment was created
+     - **lastModifiedDateTime**: When the comment was last modified
+5. Enable **Split Into Items** to get one output item per comment instead
+
+**Note**: Once a comment is posted in Planner, it cannot be deleted or edited via the Microsoft Graph API or the Planner UI (for Basic plans). This is a limitation of the Microsoft 365 Groups conversation system that Planner uses.
+
+### Working with Plans
+
+The **Plan** resource allows you to manage Microsoft Planner plans:
+
+- **Create**: Requires an **Owner Group** (selected from dropdown or entered as ID) and a **Title**.
+- **Get Many**:
+  - **My Plans**: Lists plans the authenticated user is a member of.
+  - **Group Plans**: Requires a **Group ID** to list plans owned by that specific group.
+  - **User**: Lists the plans a specific user (email or ID) is a member of.
+- **Get**: Retrieve full plan metadata. Enable **Include Details** to get category descriptions (labels) and other metadata.
+- **Update**:
+  - Change the plan **Title**.
+  - **Category Descriptions**: Update the names of the 25 color-coded labels (Category 01-25). An empty value removes the name.
+  - **Shared With**: Update plan members using a JSON mapping of user IDs.
+- **Delete**: Permanently removes the plan.
+
+### Working with Buckets
+
+The **Bucket** resource manages the columns or categories within a plan:
+
+- **Create**: Requires a **Plan ID** and a **Name**.
+  - **Upsert**: When enabled, the node will check if a bucket with the same name already exists in the plan and return that instead of creating a duplicate.
+- **Get Many**: Lists all buckets within a specific **Plan ID**.
+- **Update**: Change the bucket **Name** and its **Order Hint** (controlling the position in the UI).
+- **Delete**: Removes the bucket from the plan.
+
+### How to Find Plan IDs
+
+You can find your Plan ID in several ways:
+
+1. **From Planner URL**: Open Microsoft Planner in browser, the URL contains the Plan ID:
+   ```
+   https://tasks.office.com/.../ planId=YOUR_PLAN_ID_HERE /...
+   ```
+
+2. **Via Microsoft Graph Explorer**:
+   - Go to https://developer.microsoft.com/graph/graph-explorer
+   - Sign in
+   - Run: `GET /me/planner/plans`
+   - Copy the `id` field from the plan you want
+
+### Resource Locator (From List / By ID)
+
+When creating tasks or filtering by bucket:
+- **From List**: Select from dropdown (automatically loads based on Plan ID)
+- **By ID**: Manually enter the ID if you already know it
+
+For Get/Update/Delete operations, you need to manually enter the Task ID.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+Built and linted with the official n8n community node tooling (`@n8n/node-cli` 0.55, `n8n-workflow` 2.16) for n8n 2.x. Recent n8n 1.x versions that support `NodeConnectionTypes` work as well.
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+# --ignore-scripts skips the native build of isolated-vm (a dependency of n8n-workflow
+# that is not needed to build nodes and fails on Windows without build tools)
+npm install --ignore-scripts
+
+npm run dev     # starts a local n8n with the node loaded (hot reload)
+npm run lint    # n8n community node lint rules (strict mode)
+npm run build   # compiles to dist/
+```
+
+### Releasing
+
+Since May 1 2026, n8n requires community nodes to be published from GitHub Actions with npm provenance. The workflow in `.github/workflows/publish.yml` publishes the package whenever a version tag (e.g. `1.6.0`) is pushed.
+
+1. One-time: configure npm **Trusted Publishing** for this repository (workflow `publish.yml`) or add an `NPM_TOKEN` repository secret
+2. Run `npm run release` locally. It lints, builds, bumps the version, updates `CHANGELOG.md`, commits, tags and pushes

+
+## Version History
+
+### 1.6.0
+- **Migrated to the current n8n community node tooling**
+  - `@n8n/node-cli` for build, lint, dev and release, ESLint 9 flat config, strict mode
+  - GitHub Actions workflows for CI and npm publishing with provenance (required by n8n since May 2026)
+  - Node is usable as an AI agent tool; correct item pairing (`pairedItem`) for all operations
+- **New Features**
+  - Task labels (applied categories) on create and update; the label dropdown shows the plan's label names
+  - Get Many Tasks for **My Tasks** and **User**, optional **Include Details** and **Exclude Completed Tasks**
+  - Get Many Plans for a specific **User**
+  - Task **Get Board Format** / **Update Board Format** (Bucket, Progress, Assigned To views)
+  - Task update: Assignment Mode (Append/Replace), Remove Assignees, Remove Due/Start Date, remove checklist items by ID, remove attachments by URL
+  - Task: Order Hint, Assignee Priority, Preview Type and Conversation Thread ID fields
+  - Checklist items: Order Hint; attachments: Preview Priority
+  - Bucket create: Order Hint
+  - Comments: Split Into Items option, pagination for threads with many posts
+  - Search filter for the Bucket and Group dropdowns
+- **Bug Fixes**
+  - Task update priority values were wrong ("Urgent" sent 0, "Important" sent 1, which Planner treats as urgent). Now 1/3/5/9, the same as on create
+  - Replying to an existing comment thread used an invalid endpoint (the conversation ID was taken from the thread). Now uses `/groups/{id}/threads/{id}/reply`
+  - Creating the first comment relied on `threads` in the create-conversation response, which Graph does not return
+  - Plain-text comments were not HTML-escaped (`<`, `&` broke the comment) and lost line breaks
+  - The OAuth scope was missing `User.Read` / `User.ReadBasic.All`, so assigning users by email could fail
+  - Plans are now created with `container` instead of the deprecated `owner` property
+  - Empty Attachments/Checklist sections no longer send an empty PATCH request
+  - The description can now be cleared on update
+  - Dates passed as Luxon DateTime/Date objects (e.g. `{{ $now }}`) were dropped
+  - Email addresses containing `'` broke the user lookup filter
+  - ETag conflicts (HTTP 412) are retried automatically instead of failing the workflow
+  - Errors now reference the failing item
+
