Description of the issue

If a task has an assigned category greater than category6 the export will fail because the function GetTaskColorNameByCategory returns $null in this case. The exception is thrown in Get-DSCBlock because the array Categories contains $null

A planner task can have up to 25 categories: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/plannercategorydescriptions?view=graph-rest-1.0
