Planner - "Following / Follower" in lieu or addition to "Assigning / Assigned"

[Eric_Weller]

Many users are frustrated with being "Assigned" a Task when they are really simply following the tasks to make sure they are complete while on multiple teams.  Adding the ability to "Follow" tasks... allowing for the Teams Update "Notifications" but not being "Assigned" is a function we are currently lacking.

Unfortunately Planner is a tool that has evolved at a ver slow pace and it seems it will be like this. I suggest to provide feedback about this request in the Planner feedback portal: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/a1a93b69-2f1c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472
