I'd love the ability to create recurring focus blocks in the Planner that tasks can be dropped into each week, just like one-off focus blocks work today.

Current behaviour: Focus blocks are one-offs. To get recurring time blocks, you have to use calendar events, but those don't display tasks as a stacked list inside the block. You can link tasks to an event, but it's not the same visual/functional experience as dragging tasks into a native focus block.

Desired behaviour: A focus block that recurs on a set schedule (daily, weekly, custom) and acts as a container I can drag tasks into each week. Tasks should render inside the block as a visible list, exactly like they do for manually created focus blocks today.

Workarounds considered (and why they don't cut it):

Recurring Google/Outlook calendar events: These show up in the Planner grid, but you can't drag tasks into them the way you can with native focus blocks. You can link tasks to the event, but they don't appear as a stacked list inside the block. It's buried metadata, not a visual workflow. Not quick way to access the tasks contained in the block.

Recurring tasks with time estimates: These appear in the sidebar and can be dragged onto the calendar, but they are a task, not a container for other tasks. You end up with a placeholder task that doesn't actually hold or display the real work you want to do in that block.

Manually recreating focus blocks each week: Works, but defeats the purpose. If I have 4-5 repeating blocks per week, that's a lot of setup every Monday for something that should just be there.

Use case: As a freelancer, I have repeating work sessions (e.g. mixing blocks, admin blocks) at roughly the same times each week. I want those blocks to appear automatically in my Planner so I can just drag the relevant tasks in without recreating the block every week.
