Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate: Teams Site Planner is merely a link, not a copy

Question

Hi,

I made a template of a o365 team site with a planner in it

after applying that template to a new site collection I do see that plan but its not a copy but achtually the data from the source site.

1. I know I can copy the plan via tasks.office.com to the new site once it is linked to teams, but was hoping for a powershell way.
2. I want to remove the links from the template. is there a switch in get-pnpProvisioningtemplate to not take the link to planner?

the long way around would be to go to tasks.office.com, open the plan, export to excel, then use Sandy Zhen's powershell for planner to recreate each task and bucket (.

$responde3 = New-PlannerTask -PlanID $PlannerPlanID -TaskName $TaskName -BucketID $PlannerPlanBucketID -startDate "2019.6.3" -dueDate "2019.6.30"
$PlannerPlanTaskID = $responde3.id

Powershell for planner: powershell-module-for-microsoft-planner

The get-PnPProvisioningTemplate cmdlet has a Configuration Parameters, you could specify a JSON configuration file to configure the extraction progress.In the json configuration file, you can specify the list and column to be exported.

Test json for your reference:

{  
    "$schema":"https://aka.ms/sppnp-extract-configuration-schema",  
    "persistAssetFiles": true,  
    "handlers": [  
        "Lists"      
    ],  
    "lists": {  
        "lists": [  
            {  
                "title": "list",  
                "includeItems": true,  
                "query": {  
                    "includeAttachments": false,  
                    "camlQuery": "<View></View>",  
                    "viewFields": [ "Title"]  
                }

Thanks Amos,

Ok that way I could prevent the links to the planner of another site being added to the new site

Any info on copying the plan to a new site collection with the links in a new site collection?

Or is the way I discribed the fastest, export to excell and recreate the tasks and buckets with powershell for planner?
