Email Notifications for Comments on Planner Tasks
Please add the ability for the assigned person(s) / creator on a Planner Task to receive an email when the task is commented on. I use Planner to manage tasks assigned to several different departmen...
Another (temporary) solution could be that when a task is created and assigned to someone, their name is automatically added and linked via @name in the comments and then also receives comment updates from that point on.
But for this, the @mention feature should finally be available in comments as well (as it has been for a long time in several other M365 products).
Furthermore, it should be taken into account that if an assignee is deleted, this will also be logged in the comment and this person will then at best no longer receive updates. But since there will be cases where this will still be desired, this should be optionally possible (e.g. with a radio button).
Instead of an assignee field, you could also create an additional notification field where, in addition to the assignees, people can register/follow a task to stay up to date on the task.
There would be so many possibilities - only it would be nice if this would become reality soon! Thank you very much!
