I am so irritated about the stupidity of the solution presented by MS that I even created an account to comment on this.

We are currently moving from a tool called Teamwork to Planner and my workaround for this oddly stupid problem will be the following:

1. Creator adds a task

2. Every person involved must post a comment

This way, everybody who the task has been assigned to, will follow the progress and get updates on comments. Mentioning people directly using @ would work, too. Hopefully, MS will get this fixed or integrated in MS Tasks.
