Anyone assigned to a task will get a notification! What’s changed is that the people assigned to a task won’t be notified when someone post a comment unless they have posted a comment in that task prior to someone else does!

Also @mentioning in comments are currently not available but is something they are working on!

    Hi adam deltinger !

    I am so surprised to see this. Is this accurate (not that I don't believe you), because it makes no sense. Why should an assignee have to comment just to receive notifications! If you are assigned, doesn't that mean you want to receive notifications! GAH! Microsoft...why do they make it so difficult!

     

    Any idea if they are planning to allow tags in Planner comments? Or even assignee at list level? *sigh*

    adam deltinger  thanks for this.

    Hopefully these features that aren't available will be available soon.

    adam deltinger, I know that people get notified when a task is assigned to them.  

     

    It will be very helpful if comments added the @ feature. But until then, we might just rely on Conversations and use the link to the task being referred to in the discussion. ??

     

    Also, you can get notified when comments are made in a task by adding the link to the task. This emails all members of the team though. So that's not so good.
