Notify users when they are assigned via a task template
Erin Leach
I'm very happy that you can create templates and automatically add assignees/watchers, however one thing that doesn't happen is that when a template is loaded to a task, the people that are added automatically as assignees aren't notified that they've been assigned to a new task.
I have it set to notify me when any new tasks are created, however a colleague of mine doesn't like to see all of the new tasks coming in, so when a new task is created an a template is loaded, he gets no notifications about being assigned these new tasks (specifically the subtasks/checklists). This can create an issue if he is the first one needed on a specific tasks, then someone needs to tag him in a comment to make sure he sees the new tasks.

This is super important for our business. We use a lot of templates with auto assignees on it so people don't need to know who should be assigned a marketing, design, copy, etc request. Was very surprised that templates with auto assignees don't notify people. We have to remove each person and then retag them manually. We (and our clickup consultant) thought this clearly was a bug since every other method of assigning someone a task generates a notification. Thanks
