How can we make Planner better?

Notify people assigned to a Task when it is changed/updated or when a comment is captured

A colleague and I own a task, however when I added a comment and changed the due date on it, I was the only one receiving an email about it, which is really pointless given I know what changes I made and would rather the other people assigned to it received that email/notification/update... Please can this be changed?

    Notifications in Planner need a complete overhaul. No one is notified unless they have already commented on a task.

    I Agree 100% we should have the option to turn on a setting that allows all people assigned to a card to receive notifications of comments as they are entered

    Hi,
    I am missing 2 crucial things:
    1. to tag somebody in the comments and he will be notified
    2. Get notification to all involved in the task when the task has been changed - comment, status change, etc....
    without this feature it is nice TASK list but not collaborative :-(

    we have a large Team group assigned to the planner, but are very careful to only include necessary individuals on each task - when a comment is made, the notification should go to everyone assigned to that task

    Super frustrating not to have this for a piece of software that involves planning and tracking...

    This feature is still missing from the GCC cloud, any explanation for why it isn't delivered there? I hear it's "Planned" but I don't know what the plan is, or why that's even a plan instead of just ... done?

    It is extremely needed. If all members assigned to a task wants to keep track on specific tasks comments, now we have to manually go to planner and search for that specific tasks in between hundreds of other tasks, just to find the progress and new comment. We keep updating big projects through commenting, and this would help tremendously.

    I completely agree with this. If I am the reviewer of a task, I can't leave a comment for the person assigned without them having to comment first. That just really doesn't make sense - if they're assigned they should automatically get notifications for all updates to the task. I think it should be an option to opt OUT of notifications related to something you're assigned to, not opt IN. Totally agree with mentions in comments as well.

    Yes, please make tagging people in task comments possible - or, if someone adds a comment to a task assigned to several people, add a notification to their activity feed. This would be immensly helpful.
