I've read through several comments on the notifications topic. We use Planner regularly, for more and more tasks (Actions, Issues, Decisions, etc.) type items.
I've found the only way to have more than the assignee notified of any updates is to add multiple "assignees" to the task, is that correct? Then those who are not the "real" assignee get all the "late" or "you have due" notifications, which isn't ideal.
It would be great to be able to:
- Assign "watchers" to a task - they would get updates on comments or other activity made to the task (attachments, etc), but not get the notication that they have something due or is late.
- another option would be to incorporate the "@mention" to notify non-assignees but interested parties in any activities or comments in the task. (I saw several other comments on that)
- Would be awesome if activity on a planner board that is linked to a TEAM would show up in the activity section of the Teams window as a notification. Then anyone on that planner board and Team could see the notification and check for the update.
